It has six drawers, and you can lock the top four drawers to keep them from sliding around when you move the chest. Plus, it might keep nosy kids from poking around your tools. And conveniently, the tool chest can be configured with the smaller chest on top or slotted into the bottom opening. Of course, you can always keep them separate if you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The drawers are well designed, smooth to open, and sturdy. The top chest won&#8217;t tip over if you open a couple of drawers.<\/li>\n<li>The caster wheels glide smoothly and turn easily, making it easy to move this tool chest around. The locking casters stayed locked and don&#8217;t loosen over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The metal sides can dent fairly easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ergomaster 5-Drawers Rolling Tool Chest Cabinet High Capacity<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ERGOMASTER-5-Drawers-Removable-Organizer-Drawers%EF%BC%8CBlack\/dp\/B09DC6RDLP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ERGOMASTER-5-Drawers-Removable-Organizer-Drawers%EF%BC%8CBlack\/dp\/B09DC6RDLP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41mVKeT1hGL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ERGOMASTER-5-Drawers-Removable-Organizer-Drawers%EF%BC%8CBlack\/dp\/B09DC6RDLP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Do it yourself, but organized<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This multi-drawer tool chest can lock in place or roll around for portable tool accessibility, and it includes a cabinet for extra storage space.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Runner Up<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ERGOMASTER-5-Drawers-Removable-Organizer-Drawers%EF%BC%8CBlack\/dp\/B09DC6RDLP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of wondering where your tools are, it&#8217;s time to invest in a high-capacity tool chest. This rolling chest from Ergomaster has all the space you could want for most home toolkits. Between the four drawers and shelf on the top chest, the larger two drawers on the bottom half, and the spacious cabinet with storage hooks on the door, you can fit quite a lot of hardware in here. We like that the drawers lock using a simple lever instead of a key. This makes it easy to keep them in place while working or moving the chest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The wheels use a soft rubber, which provides more grip. When the wheels are locked on a concrete floor, for example, the tool chest won&#8217;t slide around that much.<\/li>\n<li>The top toolbox uses lightweight metal. This makes it easy to move around or use separately if you&#8217;d like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The lightweight design also comes at the cost of durability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Craftsman Tool Chest Combo with Drawer Liner Roll<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CRAFTSMAN-CMST82763BK-Drawer-Bearing-Chest\/dp\/B07KHHRP1S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CRAFTSMAN-CMST82763BK-Drawer-Bearing-Chest\/dp\/B07KHHRP1S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Z5Wo3abOL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CRAFTSMAN-CMST82763BK-Drawer-Bearing-Chest\/dp\/B07KHHRP1S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Less dents, less damage<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">With multiple drawers and a bulk storage area, this tool chest can store your tools without damaging them thanks to the included rubber lining.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Includes Drawer Liner Roll<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/CRAFTSMAN-CMST82763BK-Drawer-Bearing-Chest\/dp\/B07KHHRP1S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Keeping all of your tools in a metal tool chest improves organization, but it can be a bit loud with all the metal tools rattling around. With this Craftsman tool chest combination unit, each drawer includes a liner that softens the sounds considerably. It also protects the bottom of the drawers, increasing its tool chest&#8217;s longevity. The bottom cabinet has plenty of space for larger items, and it has a textured rubber liner on top. This keeps the tool chest on top from sliding, and it can also double as a work area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The lower cabinet is spacious enough for larger tools. Something like a sander and jigsaw fit comfortably inside.<\/li>\n<li>The drawers use ball bearings for super-smooth action.

It has plenty of drawers in various sizes, so you can store a ton of tools and hardware. The top drawer is extra-wide, which is great to accommodate those weird tools that are too long for regular drawers. The wooden top makes for a great workstation. And there&#8217;s even a power strip built right into the unit. Whether you&#8217;re an amateur or professional craftsman, this tool chest makes getting work done much easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The drawer slides use ball bearings for a smooth opening and closing. They&#8217;re rated for a maximum of 100 pounds, so they won&#8217;t bend even with heavy tools.<\/li>\n<li>Liners come included in each drawer. This cuts down on noise from metallic tools sliding around, and it also keeps them from getting scratched up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The wood surface, while durable and sturdy, can get scratched pretty easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Big Red ANTBD133-XB Torin Portable Steel Toolbox<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BIG-RED-ANTBD133-XB-Portable-Closure\/dp\/B08DVFN6TQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BIG-RED-ANTBD133-XB-Portable-Closure\/dp\/B08DVFN6TQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41spmBsZqEL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BIG-RED-ANTBD133-XB-Portable-Closure\/dp\/B08DVFN6TQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A chest built for travel<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This classically styled toolbox features a sturdy top handle for easy transport and thick walls for strong protection of your hardware.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best For Transport<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BIG-RED-ANTBD133-XB-Portable-Closure\/dp\/B08DVFN6TQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>For those of us that work on different sites, an immobile tool chest just doesn&#8217;t cut it. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re excited to recommend the Big Red portable toolbox. Its sturdy construction can handle the wear and tear from constant traveling. The top handle makes it easy to lug around, even when filled with heavy tools (although some shoulder strength will be needed to lift it). It has a drawer locking tab to keep them from opening accidentally. And the latches keep the lid securely in place when carrying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The top compartment is deep enough to accommodate tools such as drills. It measures about four inches deep, so you can fit quite a lot in there.<\/li>\n<li>The drawers open smoothly and consistently. They don&#8217;t wiggle or rattle, even when loaded with heavy gear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It weighs 16 pounds when empty and more when loaded up with tools, so some folks might struggle to lift it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do tool chests come preassembled?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Due to their size, most tool chests do not come preassembled.
