The Craftsman 2000 series 5-drawer rolling tool box has undergone extensive evaluation, and while initial impressions suggested a lighter build, the unit proved to be a surprisingly capable and dependable storage solution.

Upon arrival and after emptying, the tool cabinet’s construction initially raised concerns about its durability.

However, during prolonged use in a workshop and basement, the cabinet demonstrated a solid, stable performance.

A notable design feature is the implementation of mirrored left and right drawer slides – a detail often overlooked by competitors, but one that simplifies drawer removal and slide retraction, particularly when disassembling the unit for transport.

The quality of these slides was consistently high, ensuring smooth operation regardless of the weight of the contents.

Despite a non-removable drawer design, the interior boasts a clean, powder-coated red finish, free from rust or imperfections.

The construction utilizes threaded inserts for caster attachment, and the unit comes in two heights, with the tested 38-inch model featuring a flat black handle.

While not the most substantial feeling tool cabinet, the Craftsman 5-drawer rolling tool box delivers a positive user experience, offering reliable storage and smooth operation.

Its solid performance and thoughtful design details make it a worthwhile option for serious tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts alike.
