FAQs

What material is the tool chest made from?

The tool chest is constructed from heavy-duty, phosphated steel with a durable epoxy powder-coat finish in RAL 7016 anthracite grey.

Is the tool chest waterproof?

The wrap-over lid is described as shower-resistant, offering protection against light moisture and splashes. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided.

Does it come with a padlock?

No, the tool chest features hasp and straddle clasps that accept padlocks for security, but the padlock itself is not included and must be purchased separately.

What are the external dimensions of the tool chest?

The external dimensions are approximately 430mm (Height) x 910mm (Width) x 530mm (Depth).

What is the weight of the tool chest?

The tool chest weighs 28.2kg.

Can I store power tools in this chest?

Yes, the substantial internal dimensions (385 x 865 x 490mm) and durable construction make it suitable for storing various power tools, provided they fit within the specified internal measurements.

Is the interior lined?

Large models of this chest include a durable hardboard lining to prevent tools from damaging the case interior.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not close properly

Check for any obstructions inside the chest or on the lid's edge. Ensure the chest is on a level surface.

Clasps are difficult to secure a padlock

Ensure the padlock is oriented correctly and the hasp is fully engaged before attempting to lock. Check for any dirt or debris in the padlock holes.

Exterior finish appears dull

Clean the surface with a damp cloth. For a restored sheen, use a compatible automotive-grade wax or protectant suitable for powder-coated surfaces.

Chest feels unstable

Verify that the chest is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Uneven ground can cause instability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tool chest is designed for immediate use upon arrival. No assembly is required beyond ensuring it is placed on a stable, level surface. For enhanced security, a padlock should be fitted to the hasp and straddle clasps.

Compatibility: The chest is compatible with standard padlocks. Its internal dimensions (385 x 865 x 490mm) accommodate a wide variety of tools and equipment. Ensure the tools you intend to store fit within these dimensions.

Care: To maintain the finish and integrity of the tool chest:

  1. Wipe down the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coat finish.
  2. For minor scratches on the painted surface, touch-up paint in RAL 7016 can be used.
  3. Ensure the lid mechanism operates smoothly. If it becomes stiff, a light application of lubricant may be necessary.
  4. Periodically check the clasps and hinges for wear or damage.
