A steel tool chest is a classic for a reason: portable, durable, and satisfying to use, the kind of tool box that can endure regular use and still become an heirloom one day. Right now, Target has a sturdily built, well-organized tool box on sale with a steep discount.

The Costway Portable Tool Box is on sale for $80 at Target, 47% off its regular $150 price tag. Other colors are available at lower prices — $65 for blue and red options, $70 for a red and black one — but this represents the best deal, nearly half off the price of a very good tool chest.

There aren’t many more classic looks in the world of tooldom than the metal tool box. This one features chrome details — handle joints, latches, and drawer edges — on a powder coated chest made of cold rolled steel with smooth, rounded edges that are wear resistant. It’s lockable and comes with two keys, has a hinged lid on top, and three drawers at the bottom. The drawers have EVA liners that are anti-slip and protect the metal below from scratching. They sit on ball bearing slides for super smooth sliding action and have a load capacity of 22 pounds each. The entire thing weighs just 18 pounds, so it feels solid when it’s not very full and not onerously heavy when it is. It’s 20 inches wide, 12 inches tall, and 8.5 inches deep.

One customer wrote that this “this box has been stuffed full of tools for nearly six months now and the drawers still glide nicely on their bearings.” They added that “the top tray is perfect for odds and ends” and overall this box is “an excellent addition to our shop.”

Other shoppers called this a “nice box” that’s “plenty big enough and sturdy,” and “easy to use.”

Deals We’re Loving

The Costway Portable Tool Box is a functional, attractive way to store a solid selection of everyday tools. It’s made of powder-coated steel, so you know it’s built to last, which makes its current $80 price tag even more enticing than it would be otherwise.
