Tool storage systems come in a few different sizes. Tool belts carry just a few tools you need for a project you’re working on at the moment, and tool boxes let you bring a larger number of tools from home to a worksite. But the main storage system for all of your tools should be a tool chest that sits in your workshop.
Tool chests are large, secure storage containers that often come with wheels so you can move them around your work area. Tool chests offer a lot more storage space than tool boxes, but they’re usually heavier and harder to transport.
The best tool chest for you will depend on your workshop and what features you want your tool storage to have. If mobility is important, consider a tool chest on wheels or one with a lightweight design. Most tool chests are made of metal, but you can get plastic ones that are more affordable and lightweight, or wooden tool chests that bring a classic look to your workshop.
The best tool chests have a keyed lock to keep your tools safe, and keep kids safe from your tools. The most important consideration when deciding on the best tool chest for you is the storage capacity. Look for tool chests large enough to hold the tools you have now as well as the tools you will buy in the future.

This impressive steel unit is made up of two separate tool chests, with the smaller, top chest sitting on top of a larger chest. The top chest can also slide into the bottom chest.

The top tool chest has four drawers and storage space on the top. The bottom tool chest has two drawers and an enclosed shelf that can be used to store bottles, sprays, or power tools that will not fit in the drawers. This model is a good choice if you have children, because the top tool chest’s drawers can be locked with a key when not in use.

The chest sits flat when in use, and it can be moved by pulling out its steel handle, tilting it, and rolling it on a pair of heavy-duty wheels. You may need a hand to lift the chest into your vehicle, but you can easily pull it from one location to another. The chest has two metal latches that can and should be closed before moving it so nothing accidentally falls out. You can also lock the chest with the key lock on the lid.
Best Bang for the Buck
