Westward 42" Rolling Tool Cabinet vs GEARWRENCH 42" 11-Drawer Tool Chest

The GearWrench 83169 is the better work station for most buyers: 11 drawers, about 19,000 cu in of storage, a built-in 6-outlet/2-USB charging hub, vise-mount capability and a 5-year warranty. The Westward is the simpler, heavier-gauge box: 14-gauge body steel and 200 lb deep drawers, but only 6 drawers and no power or vise features. Owners of the GearWrench praise the drawer layout and casters; the Westward is a plain, sturdy cabinet with little feedback either way.

  • Choose the Westward if you want a rugged, simple 6-drawer cabinet with 14-gauge steel and 200 lb deep drawers and do not need power outlets or a vise mount.
  • Choose the GearWrench if you want maximum organized storage, a built-in charging hub, vise-mount capability and a 5-year warranty in one rolling work station.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a home garage?
The GearWrench. Its 11 drawers, side cabinet and built-in outlets cover most garage tasks, and the vise mount is useful for repairs. The Westward suits buyers who only need a few deep, heavy-duty drawers.
Which holds more tools?
The GearWrench, at about 19,000 cu in against 15,426 cu in for the Westward. It also splits that space into 11 drawers plus a lockable side cabinet, so small tools stay separated.
Which has the stronger drawers?
The Westward's deep drawers are rated 200 lb; the GearWrench rates every drawer at 100 lb. The Westward's 14-gauge body is also heavier steel than the GearWrench's 20-gauge frame.
Is the GearWrench worth stepping up to?
Yes for most buyers. You get five more drawers, more storage, a charging hub, a vise mount and a 5-year warranty. Step down to the Westward only if you want fewer, heavier-rated drawers and thicker body steel.
Which rolls better on rough floors?
The GearWrench. Its 6 x 2 in polyurethane casters are larger than the Westward's 5 x 2 in TPR wheels, and each GearWrench caster is rated 800 lb with locking.
Does either include a work top for a vise?
Only the GearWrench lists vise-mount capability and an adjustable-height parts tray. The Westward has a polyethylene foam work surface, which is not meant for mounting a vise.
