There’s a big difference between owning a bunch of tools and having somewhere decent to keep them. A few socket sets, ratchets, cordless tools, and spare parts can turn a garage workbench into a mess before you know it. And when you’re halfway through a brake job or working under the hood, the last thing you want is to spend 10 minutes looking for the wrench you just put down. A rolling tool chest helps with that, especially if you can pull it right up beside the car and keep everything within reach instead of walking back and forth across the garage.
With this limited-time deal we found, the Sugift 2-in-1 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Chest is on sale at JCPenney for $178, half-off its usual $356 price. That’s a solid discount on a steel tool cabinet with five drawers, two trays, a larger bottom compartment, and a removable upper tool box. The top chest measures 17.5 inches wide, 9.5 inches deep, and 13 inches tall, while the lower cabinet measures 23.5 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 27.5 inches tall. You can keep them stacked together or separate the upper box when you want to take a smaller collection of tools somewhere else.
50% OffPros
- Two-piece design lets you separate the upper tool box from the cabinet
- Five drawers, two trays, and a larger bottom storage compartment
- Great for keeping tools close while working on cars and trucks
- Steel construction with locking bars
Cons
- Each drawer is rated for only 11 pounds
- Smaller than many full-size rolling mechanic’s cabinets
- Upper tool box could get heavy when filled with hand tools
The drawers have slide rails and foam tool mats to help keep sockets, wrenches, and other metal tools from rattling around. Each drawer is rated for 11 pounds, so they’re better suited for hand tools and smaller accessories than a bunch of heavy power tools. That’s where the larger bottom cabinet comes in handy. The total load capacity of the entire setup is over 220 pounds, and the whole thing rides on four swivel wheels, two of which have brakes. There’s also a side handle for moving it around and locking bars to help secure the drawers.
It’s not a giant professional shop cabinet, but for $178, there’s a decent amount of storage here for a home garage or workshop.
