Troubleshooting
Drawers are stiff or difficult to open/close

Tools appear to be missing from the kit
Carefully check all packaging materials and all drawers within the tool chest. The 321 pieces are distributed across various compartments and tools.
Powder coating is scratched or chipped
For minor scratches, touch-up paint suitable for metal surfaces can be used. Clean the area thoroughly before application. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads during cleaning.
