Our Review
The Workington 4004 is a solid mid-range portable tool chest that punches above its price point for small-job contractors and homeowners. The 20" steel cabinet with ball-bearing drawer slides operates smoothly under typical workshop loads—I loaded it with impact drivers, sockets, and hand tools without binding. The red powder-coated steel construction resists surface rust adequately, though it's not heavy-gauge enough for daily concrete-floor abuse. Drawer capacity is honest: four compartments hold modest tool collections but will feel cramped for full trade inventories. The handle design is practical for single-person transport, though weight distribution tilts slightly forward when fully loaded.
What We Like
- Smooth ball-bearing drawer slides handle repeated opening without catching or sticking
- Powder-coated finish resists light corrosion in garage environments
- Compact 20" footprint fits van racks and small workshop benches without consuming excessive space
Watch Out For
- Thin steel gauge (approximately 18-20) limits durability on job sites with regular impacts and vibration
- Four-drawer configuration lacks flexibility—no adjustable dividers or customizable drawer heights for oddly-sized tools
The Verdict
“A practical budget-conscious choice for homeowners and casual DIYers, but trades durability for affordability compared to heavy-duty brands.”
