[BazyleParticipant @bazyle]

Never seen the like before. Whereabout does it fit and what does it do?

[Matthew UrryParticipant @matthewurry]

where the draw slides in and out there is two of these on top and bottom to then secure the shelving in place and move freely

[Peter HallParticipant @peterhall61789]

Bearings for a drawer slide maybe? Try getting in touch with Clarke. I believe they offer a spares service for some of their machines; maybe they could sort out your toolbox too.

They look like small ball bearings in a plastic carrier; something to do with the drawer sliding mechanism, maybe a piece of one has come adrift?

thank you I just need two more haha tried searching for clarke parts but it only comes up with power tools spares.

[Pete.Participant @pete-2]

You won't find parts like that in their online shop, best option is to email their customer service, ask if they do parts for it, if they do, ask for a parts diagram, then it's a case of finding your part on the diagram, which should have a part number, then order the part number.

[Howard LewisParticipant @howardlewis46836]

If no spares are available, could you make what you require?

Measure the diameter of the balls.

Possibly, once in place in the drawer runners, the plastic is only a spacer to, maintain separation of the balls, so maybe the balls to do not need to be completely captive. In which case, a suitably sized piece of plastic or metal with clearance holes for the balls could be used as a replacement? Fiddly to assemble, but better than nothing.
