What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the tool chest as excellent value for home use, with ample storage and smooth-gliding drawers that organize tools effectively. Many describe it as ideal for DIYers and home workshops, noting it meets expectations for the price. However, a substantial portion report significant durability concerns, including thin metal construction, drawers breaking or failing to lock properly, and misalignment issues. Some mention cosmetic damage upon arrival. Despite quality concerns, most customers find it worthwhile for casual home use, though it is not recommended for professional or heavy-duty applications.

I have a 20 year old Craftsman toolbox in my garage that has held up really well. I also had a small 3-drawer Craftsman top chest in my service truck that's about 3 or 4 years old and it is also pretty stout. I've outgrew the 3-drawer and needed a 5-drawer box that would still fit in the compartment on my truck; so I picked up one of these from Lowe's. I noticed as soon as I un-boxed it that it was significantly thinner steel than my other Craftsman boxes. I had to cut off the lid because it's...
Great deal for those with fewer tools
My father always liked Craftsman and so do I.

Versatile, mobile, 100% reliable.
Craftsman tool boxes have always been the standard for me. This set was needed for organizing medical equipment. Be it dialysis gear or tools, Craftsman makes it work.

Craftsman has CHANGED
Craftsman was my go to affordable tool solution with excellent quality. That has all but disappeared . Turns out this tool box is made of very thin metal something you would expect buying a cheaper quality tool box . I purchased this tool box thinking I was buying a dependable product . Fooled me .

Flimsy steel; will not lock
Craftsman has completely fell by the wayside with toolbox construction. I needed a 5 drawer box so I purchased this one based on my experience with Craftsman at an early age and I am very sorry I did. The sheet metal is presumably the cheapest steel available and it is only .024 thick. That's 23% less than 1/32 of an inch. Let that sink in. The lock on my box would not lock every drawer and when I took it apart I found out it was because of the thin construction. Even a gentle pull when the box...

Perfect Fit
I like the size and durability. I bought to fit an exact dimensions. One thing I didn't like is that it did not come with drawer liners. The box mentioned those were included.

Worst purchased in a while
The drawers came misaligned. They constantly stick and only open if I lift the top lid. The lock only works about half the time, which is probably part of the sticking drawer issue. Easily one of the worst purchases I’ve made in a long time. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Not As Good As They Used to Be
Bought this tool box knowing that it wasn't the most heavy duty tool box. The metal is thin but again I knew this going into it, The thing that gets to me is the lack of quality control. The tool box is not square, All of the drawers have a twist to them. Corners were bent out so that is not a shipping issue. The drawer lock rod was bent up so that it did not fully engage the drawers. all of the drawers were bent out due to this. Comparing to my older craftsman tool box of the same size, th...
