Used craftsman tool chests for sale
While it’s hard to tell from a bunch of online photos, this really doesn’t look like a $1200 combo to me. Today is October 4th, these products are said to have been first listed on October 2nd, and they’re already “on sale” for $320 and $480, from “regular” prices of $480 and $720. Milwaukee’s 46″ 16-drawer combo is currently $749, and might drop back to $700 during the holiday season.ġ4 drawers is nothing to sneeze at, but I wish the bottom cabinet had a few more drawers in the right side. $800 seems fair for this combo, but you can get more bang for the buck with other brands, such as Milwaukee and Husky. Price: $320 for the chest, $480 for the rolling cabinet, $800 for bothĭelivery doesn’t seem to be available yet, so we couldn’t check freight fees.
The casters also have a similar locking mechanism to the ones Milwaukee and Husky have been using on their premium tool storage products. The wheels look to have a textured tread of some kind, but it’s hard to tell. The rolling cabinet has stylized casters. With pegboard panels built into the top compartment, the vertical drawer, and the rolling cabinet’s side (sides?), there’s plenty of places to hang quick-reach tools and supplies. It looks like these are the same bins and shelves shown in the vertical drawer photo. There’s a small pegboard built into the side of the cabinet, underneath the non-tubular-looking handle. Otherwise, what’s the point of that extra set of drawer slides? There’s a full-length pull out work surface, and while the Craftsman product description doesn’t go into details, I’m guessing that work surface lifts out of the way to reveal a deep and heavy duty drawer. To me it looks more like a less efficient use of space. Part of me believes the single vertical drawer is intended to fill the space as inexpensively as possible, part of me sees it as a potentially beneficial option.
This could have easily been 4 or more traditional drawers. There is a large vertical pegboard drawer, with some shelves and another built-in power strip with USB charging ports. The 6-drawer ball bearing rolling cabinet is a little unusual, in good and potentially disappointing ways. It doesn’t look to be built by the same OEM that builds the great-for-the-money Milwaukee tool storage units, such as the 30″ combo we recently reviewed. I find it interesting that the Sears photo shows the cabinet with a Milwaukee M18 battery on its charger, rather than a Craftsman charger. To start, there’s an 8-drawer chest with 100 lb-rated drawer slides and a spacious top compartment with pegboard back wall and built-in power strip with USB charging ports.
