Major tool brands such as Craftsman produce tool chests that include anywhere from 20 to 100+ tools when you purchase them. For the occasional tool-user there are chests that come with all of the basics: hammer, flathead, Phillips, wrench, pliers, screws, nails, and more. For the more serious builder, there are chests that feature multiple variations on all of the basics plus some added perks like framing materials.

Mobility and versatility can be crucial in a tool chest. Many feature casters to make transportation from site to site easier. Others feature pull-out carrying trays that allow you to handle only the tools you need for a job. There are also chests with extending drawers, ID strips for listing, adjustable dividers, and much more.

Black and Decker, along with other power tool manufacturers, have created chests complete with screw guns, drills, and more. There are also power tool chests designed to get youngsters involved. While the tools inside are actually toys, they can introduce children to the world of craftsmanship at a young age.

You can find steel chests with multiple pullout levels and several storage areas. They should be able to house your entire collection, and they should withstand any drops or unfortunate meetings with an errant hammer. There are also handcrafted tool chests that have been designed for true collectors. Cherry wood, golden oak, and natural walnut are just a few of the materials used to construct these carved boxes that can serve a practical purpose or can simply be used as display items.
