Tool Chests & Roller Cabinets NZ

Tool chests, roller cabinets and combo chest-and-cabinet sets for the home garage through to a full-time trade workshop. Drawer counts run 3 to 11, all on full-extension ball-bearing slides that carry a loaded drawer without sagging, with internal central locking and a hard powder-coat finish. Prices run from around $360 for a 3-drawer chest to $4,600 for a full combo.

Combo sets pair a top chest with a matching roller cabinet, so you get bench height and wheels in one. Line the drawers with drawer organiser trays cut to size so every tool has its slot, or for storage that travels the job, see our portable tool boxes and site boxes. All in stock and shipping NZ-wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size tool chest do I need?
Match drawers to what you own. A 3 drawer chest suits a home garage or a starter kit. Most home mechanics land on a 6 to 9 drawer chest. For a full-time trade setup, run a 9 drawer top chest on an 11 drawer roller cabinet, or buy them together as a combo.
What is the difference between a tool chest and a roller cabinet?
A tool chest sits on a bench or on top of a cabinet and has shallower drawers for hand tools. A roller cabinet sits on castors with deeper drawers for power tools and heavy gear. A combo stacks the two, so you get wheels, bench height and the most drawers for the money.
How much does a tool chest cost in NZ?
Around $360 for a 3 drawer chest, $520 to $630 for 6 to 9 drawers, and $990 to $4,600 for a chest and cabinet combo. Most home mechanics spend between $520 and $1,000.
Will the drawers hold heavy tools without sagging?
Yes. Every chest and cabinet here runs full extension ball bearing slides, so a drawer full of sockets and spanners opens all the way and closes square. Put the heaviest tools in the bottom drawers of a roller cabinet to keep it stable on the move.
Can I lock a tool chest?
Yes. Chests and cabinets have internal central locking with keys, so one turn locks every drawer. For the ute or the site, a lockable steel site box from the tool boxes range is the better pick.
