WHY DO YOU NEED A TOOL CABINETS?
Here’s a way a tool cabinet is such an essential thing to have;

· They’re also safely and securely stored away.
· An organized tool cabinet can make your tasks quicker and more efficient.
· Having tools in a  cabinet keeps them protected and reduces the risk of damage.



Storage Capacity
This may seem like a fairly obvious consideration. However, when you're purchasing your tool cabinet you need to think about not only how many tools you currently have to store inside it, but also how many tools you think you're likely to buy shortly, as they will also eventually need a home within your tool cabinet.



Drawers
How many drawers you have in your tool cabinet is important, you need to ensure that there are not only enough to house all your tools, but that they are big enough to fit the length of your tools.



Durability
The durability of a tool cabinet is quite frankly the most significant feature. A tool cabinet is an investment, one that should not be taken lightly. You need to be careful about the material that has been used for the manufacturing of the tool cabinet. All Sup-up® tool cabinets are made of the highest quality materials, and come with a 2-year warranty



Slides
There are two different types of drawer slides, that are commonly used on tool cabinets. One is non-bearing, giving it very little significant advantage, it can make it rather difficult to pull a drawer. The second type is the ball-bearing drawer slide system. This is the smartest and easiest style to use, even if the drawer is heavy, the drawer functions without problem.



Lock
One of the main reasons for using a tool cabinet is to ensure the safety of your tools. For this reason, the tool cabinet needs to have a well-designed lock system. Some cabinets have an internal locking system that covers up the drawers after you close the top lid, others have a key-operated lock for extra security.

Although it may be an essential part of your kit, you now need to determine why you need a tool cabinet. Will it be used to store, a few domestic items that you often use around the home? Are you a tool enthusiast or semi-professional that needs compact units to fit in the home, whilst providing optimum storage? Or are you kitting out a large garage? Do you travel with your tools from various jobs/locations? Knowing which category you fall under will help you to decide what category to look at.
