How to assess tools cabinets quality

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. Measure the free space in your workshop and quickly calculate the volume occupied by the equipment and tools you want to store before asking for an estimate, this will help you to narrow down your search for workshop tools cabinets and only focus on those that best meet your needs.

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.

Locking system

If you need a tool cabinet that is safe and only accessible to workers, choose workshop storage cabinets that are equipped with locks that let you store tools that only your trusted workers can access.

Adjustable feet

You can adjust the height of your workshop storage cabinet using adjustable feet, making it more manageable. Furthermore, the feet make your tools cabinets more stable and prevents rocking due to uneven floors. Look for a workshop storage cabinet with adjustable feet, you won't regret it.
