There is a wide range of tools cabinets on the market but, obviously, different items mean different levels of quality. Therefore, before buying tools cabinets, make sure their cost meets your expectations. Here's what you need to know when assessing a workshop tool cabinet to best exploit your investment!
Dimensions
Both the space as tools cabinets occupies and the size of the tools you plan to store should be assessed when analysing a tool cabinet.

Maximum capacity
The second factor you should assess, especially if you want to store rather heavy tools, is the maximum shelf capacity. Not all tools cabinets are made with resistant materials and cheaper one often have shelves that break under the weight of heavy tools.
Adequate finishes
In addition to capacity, tool cabinet resistance is also provided by the shelf, shoulder and door surface finishes. If you need a cabinet to store documents and small tools, this factor is insignificant, but if you need a workshop tools cabinets for metal or particularly delicate tools, always ask whether the workshop storage cabinets have adequate finishes.
