Sale price through June 23rd. Regular price is $600. Pay with your Chase Freedom Card and get 5% cashback bonus, effectively bringing the price to $473.

Same price as the wildly popular Kobalt tool chest close out deal from 2 years ago. Similar box but with fewer but deeper split drawers. I checked it out in person and it's essentially a reconfigured version of the previous tool chest combo. Unfortunately they're not using the Kwikset Smart Key locks anymore.

The Kobalt 42 in. 13 drawer tool chest and cabinet set is great for storing and organizing all your tools and hardware. The unit is made from high grade all welded steel construction with a tough, rust-resistant powder coat finish. 13 Drawers are all soft-close full-extension and glide effortlessly on ball-bearing slides that can support up to 100 lbs. you can charge your electronics and power tools even when the chest is locked via the integrated power strip with 4-outlets and 2-USB ports. An ergonomic handle and 5 in. x 2 in. casters allow you to easily move your cabinet around your workspace. Total weight capacity of the unit is 1,200lbs. both the till and chest have lock system for added security.
  • 100lbs. soft-close full extension drawers for smooth opening and closing
  • 13 Different sized drawers for storing and organizing all your tools and hardware
  • All welded steel construction with a tough, rust-resistant powder coat finish
  • Integrated power strip in top till with 4-outlets and 2-USB ports for charging electronics and power tools
  • 5 in. x 2in. heavy-duty casters ( 2-fixed, 2-swivel with toe locks) can support up to 1,200lbs
  • Gas struts support the tool chest lid and provide access to the charging area
  • Pre-cut drawer liners for better protect chest from scratching
  • Full width aluminum chromed trim drawer
  • 2 Access grommets allow storing and charging power tools

Either this deal is expired or it's an extreme YMMV deal.

Looking to go a little OT here....

I have one of these Kobalt boxes that I was given as a gift last Christmas. It doesnt have the split drawers on the bottom, but looks very similar otherwise. Biggest thing is that for the hood at the top, there isnt a handle for me to grab to close it, just the key. I would rather not keep using the key as something to grab to close it up.

Anyone have any ideas on a handle I can mount to this thing to be able to close it?

I agree, the design for the lid is not ideal. In my case I just added a drawer pull picked up at HD or Lowe's for a couple bucks. Drilled through the lid and attached. Easy peasy, problem solved. It was a simple matter to find a basic black or chrome pull in a style which complemented the box sufficiently that it looks like a part of the original setup.

Seems to be available regionally. Hardly what I'd call "extreme" since it's avialable in at least 16 states, but which regions are unclear at the moment since nobody wants to share their zip so I can pin it down more. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to run all 50 states to figure out the how and why of availability, though I am still working on it.

So I have it set up at home and I actually have the US general next to it to compare. Obviously the US general is a better quality mainly because the sheet metal thickness. But after thinking it over for a while I think I might just stick with this one because Harbor freight doesn't offer anything with a hutch unless you go into icon. The other ones aren't really a hutch just more of a fold up top

Clearly I missed the fine print somewhere but how does using Discover qualify for 5% cash back? This quarter's categories are streaming services and wholesale clubs.

Does Lowes qualify as a wholesale club? Thank you!

My error. I meant Chase Freedom. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Corrected in OP.

Thanks for the info! That was my thought as well, but didnt know if there was just something I was missing from the manufacturer. Thanks for the insights, much appreciated!+
