Tool Chest FAQ
What is the difference between a tool box and a tool chest?
The difference between a tool box and a tool chest is mostly size and portability.
A tool box is just as the name suggests—a box to store tools in. Usually made of metal or impact-resistant polymer, they tend to have a large main area for tool storage and sometimes a removable tray compartment or two. It’s typically smaller and more portable, designed to hold a basic set of tools for quick and easy access for on-the-go jobs.
A tool chest is also made of tough stuff but is much larger, looking a bit like a chest of drawers. It's less about carting your tools around and more about making them easy to find. Multi-drawer tool chests have pull-out trays and compartments to neatly group and organise your tool arsenal—it’s the perfect solution to put in the back of the ute or for prime position in your workshop.
How do you organise a tool chest?
IWhen it comes to sorting your sockets and such, how you go about it depends on what you’ll be using most often. Place the tools you use most frequently in the most accessible drawers of your tool storage chest. Group everything by type (e.g. drill bits together, screwdrivers together etc) to make them easier to find. Use small compartments for easy to lose smaller items rather than throwing them into large drawers to rattle about. Once you’ve decided where everything lives, go ahead and slap some labels on there to help keep things sorted. By keeping your tool chest organised, you'll never spend time looking for that missing tool again.
What should I look for in tool chests?
When choosing a tool chest, think about how many tools you need to house and how much you’ll need to move them from place to place. Consider the number of drawers and compartments, as well as any additional features like locking mechanisms or wheels for mobility. Look for tool chest drawers from brands with a reputation for durability and high quality, like a Kincrome tool chest or Sidchrome tool chest. We only stock great-quality brands at Tool Kit Depot, so you’ll know it’ll stand up to whatever you throw at it.
What is a rolling tool chest?
A rolling tool chest is a tool chest on wheels, made for taking with you to the jobsite or moving around easily in the work shed. When you’ve got a mighty collection of tools that you need to transport to multiple jobs, wheels are what you want. Tough units like the Milwaukee rolling tool chest offer the convenience of easy portability helping you get the job done right, with heavy-duty wheels that can take on any terrain. With a rolling tool chest, you can easily transport your tools wherever you need them, without the hassle of carrying a heavy chest, making them a great option for professional tradies.
