Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom 6 Drawer Tool Chest (E010238B) is a professional-grade storage solution engineered for mechanics and technicians who require robust organization in demanding workshop environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of heavy-duty steel durability with 100% drawer extension, allowing for total access to stored equipment. A notable caveat is that its 663mm width and 383mm height make it better suited for benchtop placement rather than large floor-standing tool storage needs.

Troubleshooting
Drawers are sticking or difficult to pull out
Check the drawer slides for metal debris or grit. Clean the slides and apply a small amount of dry silicone-based lubricant.
Lock is difficult to engage or turn
Ensure all drawers are fully pushed in. If the resistance persists, check that the internal locking bar is not obstructed by tools sticking out of the drawers.
Chest surface is wobbling on the workbench
Ensure the underlying workbench is level. If necessary, use rubberized matting under the chest to increase grip and level out surface irregularities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the chest on a level, stable workbench or trolley capable of supporting the weight of the unit plus the expected tool load. Ensure there is sufficient clearance in front of the unit to allow for the 100% drawer extension. For care, keep the ball-bearing slides clean of metal filings or debris to maintain smooth operation; an occasional application of light, dry lubricant can keep the drawers sliding effortlessly. The exterior can be maintained using a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool on the powder-coated surface, as this may compromise the corrosion-resistant finish.
