Product Information
Full details
This 5 Drawer Tool Chest in Red by Loops is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking durable, secure storage for their tools. Its key benefit is robust construction with smooth-gliding drawers and a reliable locking mechanism. A potential consideration is its weight when fully loaded, which might require careful placement. Key features include heavy-gauged steel construction, 45mm ball bearing drawer slides, a full-height locking mechanism with a tumbler lock, and a rust-resistant powder coat finish.

Troubleshooting
Drawers are difficult to open or close.
Ensure the tool chest is on a level surface. Check that no items are obstructing the drawer slides. Clean and lightly lubricate the ball bearing slides with machine oil.
Lock is stiff or not engaging properly.
Ensure all drawers are fully closed. Check the lock cylinder for any debris and clean if necessary. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The tool chest arrives fully assembled. Its placement should be on a stable, level surface, such as a workbench or the floor, capable of supporting its weight (27.23kg empty). Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for opening drawers fully.
Compatibility: This tool chest is designed for general tool storage and is compatible with most standard mechanic tools, hand tools, and smaller power tools. The drawer dimensions are: four small drawers at 560 x 270 x 45mm, and one medium drawer at 560 x 270 x 70mm.
Care: To maintain the chest's appearance and functionality:
- Wipe down the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Periodically check the drawer slides for any obstructions and lubricate if necessary with a light machine oil.
- Ensure the locking mechanism is kept clean and free of dust to ensure smooth operation. The powder coat finish is resistant to most common workshop solvents, but prompt cleanup of spills is recommended.
