Took a quick look into this.  Some of the Snap-on boxes had a tool for
removing the drawers that allowed the drawer to slide past the stop by
pushing the stop away a bbit.  I tried a tool I've used on the Snap-on box,
and all it did was push the drawer shut.  Looking harder, it appears that
the end of the drawer rail, on the chest frame, is peened over, preventing
further movement.

I'm not sure if I need to rethink the geometry of the tool, pull harder to
get it to ride over the peen, or just what.

More later.
