Review on Shop Fox D3031 18-Inch Full Ext Drawer Slide 100-Pound Capacity Side Mount, Pair by Fritz Marrero

I'm very happy with these slides. I was able to replace my junky original slides that were also half an inch on each side. The provided screws worked well with the half inch wall thickness and now my drawers are firmly in place and slide easily (but not too easily) in a satisfying way. It was much harder getting my drawer faces installed than the simple act of installing these.I was a bit confused as to which length I should purchase, as there was a little extra room in my kitchen cabinet. It seems as though 22 inch slides match up well with 22 inch drawer boxes. The first slide I bought was 24 inch which when paired with a 22 inch drawer brought my drawer completely out of the opening, which is fine, but didn't add anything to using the drawer. I don't expect these drawers will ever see anywhere near 100 pounds of contents, unless one of my kids starts pretending they are steps, but it's nice to have that kind of reserve strength.These slides are slightly greasy to the touch, as the ball bearings are well lubricated and there is a thin coat of grease over the whole surface of the metal.There are a wide variety of holes for inserting screws throughout and you can choose to put a screw in either a simple round hole or elongated holes that allow for adjusting either back and forth or up and down. In general, I used the simple set holes, but I can see where you might want to choose the back and forth adjustable openings. I used a small drill bit to pre-drill the holes, both into my cabinet and into my drawer boxes.In general, a quality product that improved my kitchen.
