Our take on the 8 Drawer Rolling Tool Chest 42 Inch Heavy Duty Cabinet

This is a 42-inch rolling tool cabinet with eight drawers and a lockable top. The wide steel body and caster wheels suit a garage or workshop where the chest doubles as a work surface and moves between bays. Against smaller 26- and 30-inch chests it holds longer tools and more weight per drawer, but it takes up real floor space and is heavy to move up stairs. Buyers of this class of chest value the drawer slides and lock; check slide rating and steel gauge before comparing brands.

Questions and answers

Is a 42-inch chest big enough for a full tool set?

It holds a typical home or mechanic hand tool set with room for power tools in the deeper drawers. Very large sets or bulky cases may still need a second chest or a top box.

Can the drawers hold heavy tools?

That depends on the slide rating of the specific brand, which is usually listed per drawer. Ball-bearing slides rated for heavier loads handle sockets and wrenches better than friction slides.

How easy is it to move?

The casters roll it around a flat garage floor, and two swivel wheels help with steering. It is heavy when loaded, so move it before filling it and use two people on steps.

Does the lock secure all drawers?

On most chests in this class one lock secures the drawer bank, and the top lid or till has its own key or latch. Confirm the lock covers every drawer on the model you pick.

What should I check before buying one?

Check the drawer slide load rating, steel gauge, caster size and whether the top is flat enough to use as a work surface. Also measure your space, since a 42-inch chest needs clearance to open drawers.
