“A practical budget-friendly storage solution for stationary workshop use, but the portability claims are overstated for its build weight and lack of transport features.”
Our Review
The Workington 24" 6-drawer chest delivers solid mid-range storage for small shops and job sites. The ball bearing slides operate smoothly under moderate loads, though I noticed slight binding when drawers are packed beyond 75% capacity. The welded steel construction feels sturdy enough for stationary use, but the thinner gauge walls mean this isn't moving daily without concern for dents. At this price point, it's respectable—the drawer organization works well for keeping hand tools separated, and the compact footprint fits tight spaces. However, it lacks a handle for portability despite the "portable" marketing, and the locking mechanism is basic.
What We Like
- Smooth ball bearing drawer slides with minimal resistance when properly loaded
- Compact 24" width fits jobsite trailers and small workshop corners effectively
- Six well-proportioned drawers prevent tools from becoming a jumbled mess
Watch Out For
- No integrated carry handle despite 'portable' claim makes transport awkward
- Thin steel gauge shows vulnerability to dents and doesn't inspire confidence for rough handling
The Verdict
“A practical budget-friendly storage solution for stationary workshop use, but the portability claims are overstated for its build weight and lack of transport features.”
