What do mechanics, carpenters, and DIYers all have in common? Tool organization. It’s a hot topic of conversation, and the high-end chests used by pros can set you back thousands, so the smart ones start out frugal. That’s where something like this Ktaxon Rolling Tool Chest comes in, and it’s conveniently on sale for $129—down 55% from its $248 list price.
Ktaxon Rolling Tool Chest + Storage, $129 (was $248) at Walmart
Made from heavy-duty steel finished with a powder coating, the rolling chest is well-protected against corrosion. Despite its robust construction and ample space for equipment, it’s also pretty lightweight at just under 40 pounds. The four wheels on the bottom make it easy to move around. After moving it to your worksite, two of the wheels are lockable so your tools stay in place.
The toolbox itself is lockable using the included locking bars combined with an appropriately-sized padlock
, though you’ll have to purchase one separately. But you’ll certainly want to secure your tools if you can fit enough of them to fill this chest, as it sits over 40 inches high with the cabinet attached and it can carry a load up to 330 pounds. Without the cabinet, you still have a 17.8” x 9.5” x 12.8” (LWH) toolbox to work with.
‘“This little toolbox is perfect, just what I needed,” said one five-star review. “Plenty of room for what I need to put in it. The wheels make it very handy to move from place to place. I love that it can be locked as I have people that just love to come and get in my toolbox.”
All in all, the Ktaxon Rolling Tool Chest chest seems like an exceptional value, particularly if you’re shopping for someone who’s just starting out—whether that’s yourself or someone you know. Not only is it about the same price as a much smaller steel toolbox from the bigger-name brands, but its sturdy construction should keep it in good shape long enough to fully stock.
