It’s all about giving you a legitimate recommendation and our honest opinion of each product. We won’t recommend anything unless we’d actually use it ourselves and we don’t really care who the primary retailer is.

#US GENERAL TOOL BOX DRAWER DIVIDERS SERIES#

General series provides several great options (and colors!) to handle almost any application.Įver check out a “review” site and you can’t tell if they actually tested the tools or if they’re just “recommending” the Amazon top sellers? That’s not us. Where you find a similar value to our most affordable picks are at Harbor Freight.

They aren’t quite the bargain we find with Husky, but they beat pricing from most of the name brands. Speaking of value-we recommend Husky a lot on this page, but if you have a Northern Tool store nearby, you can find decent products from the likes of Homak. If you need commercial-level quality, you may want to consider those products, but when you can buy 2-3 toolboxes for the price of one of those, it’s hard for us to seriously recommend them.

It’s also why you don’t see a lot here from the likes of Snap-on or Mac Tools. That might explain our excitement over Husky tool chests and workbenches that compete on features with the big dogs but do it for less. How much you need to invest in a good tool chest affects your bottom line. It’s not a feature you find on less expensive boxes, so you get a bit more for your money when you go high-end. This keeps the box from ever tipping over on you. You can’t open more than one drawer at a time. We love the safety lockout feature on the Sonic Tools boxes. Advanced FeaturesĪdvanced features aren’t required-but they are sometimes very nice to have.

They might be fun for a spell, but we prefer tool chests that focus on their core use: tool storage. Those gimmicky boxes with integrated Pioneer radios and small refrigerators? Leave them alone. That allows for easy charging of phones, meters, scanners, and even cordless tool batteries when needed. We also like the presence of power strips on the top of tool cabinets. Auto mechanics typically favor a higher number of thinner drawers to hold all those specialty picks, wrenches, and hand tools that make their job easier. Your particular needs should dictate the style you choose, however.

Some tool chests have tons of thin drawers that do great for small wrenches and drivers but fail when it comes to larger tools. If you’re worried about whether you can slam a drawer closed or if the locking mechanism will hold up over time-you’ve got the wrong product. For that reason, you don’t see any “Amazon-special” recommendations-we don’t care how many people give them top user ratings. One thing we don’t like: cheap tool chests with sagging drawers or thin metal that flexes and rusts. Once we’re done, we feel we have a list you can rely on and trust. We also run these by professionals in various fields to see what they think and get their input. It’s the sum of the whole-along with the desired application-that ultimately guides our decision.

We judge tool chests on a variety of factors.

Of course, you still have to add in the tools and manual labor to customize those inserts the way you want them. You can outfit an entire 26-27″ tool chest for around $100. Without the foam insert, you’re often on your own until you need a tool that you didn’t even realize was misplaced. As soon as you see that empty hole-you know you’re missing that 10mm socket. Having used foam inserts, I find it difficult to go back.

Finally, spray the remaining portion of the bottom of the liner and smooth it into place. Then, apply the glued half of the liner to the drawer-back to front. Wait a minute to let the spray tack up a little bit. Next, spray the adhesive on the drawer bottom and also on half of the drawer liner. First, clean or vacuum out the drawers (we try to do it as soon as we get the tool chest). To do this, just pick up some spray adhesive (we recommend Gorilla Heavy-Duty spray adhesive). We recommend applying spray adhesive on your drawer liners. It doesn’t matter whether you have tools loaded in the drawer or not-drawer liners slide. The problem is that these drawer liners immediately slide around on you when opening and closing the drawer. Nearly all good quality tool chests come with included drawer liners.

Conversely, place your least-used tools in the drawers that are furthest out of reach. If you constantly reach for your wrenches and sockets-don’t put them at a level where you need to constantly bend down to grab them. You also want to take into account accessibility. Lastly, tall bottom drawers are perfect for power tools or anything else demanding additional storage. Full-width drawers hold larger tools like long pry bars, 2-foot levels, and even conduit benders.
