There are two major factors to consider when deciding which kind of Kobalt tool chest you plan to purchase: size and mobility. Let’s start by focusing on the latter factor. Lowe’s offers a couple of stationary tool chests. Kobalt’s best-selling stationary chest has six drawers and is 35.6 inches wide and 24.8 inches tall. Along with the six drawers, the tool chest also opens up at the top to reveal one large compartment, the best place to store some of your bigger tools like a drill. Like all Kobalt tool chests, it comes in a variety of colors, from blue to black to green to even more, and this chest comes with a keyed lock. An important feature is that it comes with an integrated power strip featuring four outlets and two USB ports, and you can seamlessly charge your tools here without needing to designate certain outlets in your home for charging devices. You can pick one of these up for $299.
If your tool selection is not particularly wide — or it’s a little too much for this chest, and you need more space — Kobalt offers a smaller stationary tool chest for $219. It measures 26 inches wide and 22 inches tall. Instead of six drawers, this one comes with four, but aside from the size, the two tool chests have all of the same features, including the power strip. For average tool users, these chests should work perfectly.
