Argh! Temptation... Eight drawer wood tool chest

[eac67gt]

I agree with Purplev, these have always worried me that they would not hold up but then I am not gentle with most things. I prefer the metal drawers. My father-in-law 83 years old and a retired machinist has the wooden tool cabinet/drawers he started with. They rarely build them to this quality anymore and if they do it cost $$$$$.

I have two of those wood boxes. One I use on a bedroom closet shelf for small stuff, keys, eye glasses, small household tools and the other is in my woodworking shop, I use it for small measuring tools.
Both boxes are well made for what you pay, and I’ve had no trouble with either. I would not however load either up with a full load of heavy steel tools and expect to lug it around by the top handle.

My motto with Harbor Freight is “if it has no moving parts, it may, possibly, maybe, perhaps, could be OK to take a chance if it has a life time guarantee and I live next door to the store.”
