There is a great deal of work involved in finding that perfect tool chest, but fear not, we are here to help you. We will help you identify the issues involved, and come up with some ideas on how to resolve them.

1) Size and Mobility Considerations. “Bigger is NOT always Better”. If you have a gigantic toolbox, but only a hammer, screwdriver and a wrench…what’s the point? You’re going to be spending forever trying to figure out which drawer they are in, and woe if you have to push that chest around the shop. No… You are much better off getting a chest that will fit the number of tools you own.

2) The Size of the Drawers. As we all know, tools come in various shapes and sizes. Your toolbox needs to be able to fit the tools that you own (or plan to own). That’s simple enough. Tools such as rulers, crowbars and levels tend to be rather narrow, but long. Will the drawers of the toolbox you are considering house them? Be sure to keep the drawer ratings in mind as well.

3) Drawer Slides. Drawer slides are those little rails that the chest drawers slide upon. They need to be appropriate for the drawer, or the drawers will not run smoothly. For shallow drawers you will only need two slides. If the drawers are particularly deep, then you will need four. If you want to have smooth action then you need to consider the weight rating of the drawer. Remember, ball bearing slides are the best you can get (but they are not a necessity).

4) Casters. They are a must if you plan on moving that huge toolbox around the shop or garage. They should be of the appropriate size, with 4″ casters being the minimum, and 5″ or 6″ casters being preferred. If they are too small they will catch on any uneven surface, perhaps causing the toolbox to tip over. Two of the four casters should be locking ones so that the toolbox will stay put.

5) What’s It Made From? Is the chest you are considering made from “Stainless Steel” or “Mild Steel”? They are the primary choices.

6) The Warranty. If a company really stands behind their tool chest, then their warranty will reflect this fact. Definitely look for a lifetime warranty a great thing if you can get it.

These are the 6 things that you need to take into consideration when you go looking for that perfect tool chest to meet your needs.
