Craftsman 706335080 tool chest Parts

Yes, many Craftsman tool boxes are made in China, and Craftsman also uses other manufacturing locations depending on the specific product line and production run. For your Craftsman 706335080 tool chest, the most reliable way to confirm origin and specifications is to check the product labeling and the 706335080 owner's manual.

How to confirm where your specific tool chest was made

Manufacturing country is typically listed on the product label or rating label, not in the operating instructions.

• Look for a label inside the top-most drawer area (the manual notes the model label is on the interior right side of the top-most drawer)
• Check the back panel near the frame
• Check the packaging (if you still have it)
• Record the full model number (706335080) and any serial or production codes
• Match that information when ordering parts or hardware for the chest

What the manual does confirm for model 706335080

Even when the manual does not list the country of origin, it does provide key safety and capacity details you should follow.

Item	What to follow	Why it matters
Drawer capacity	Max 25 lb per drawer	Prevents slide damage and tip-over risk
Total capacity	Max 125 lb including contents	Helps keep the cabinet stable
Moving/transport	Transport empty; close and lock drawers first	Reduces tipping and drawer slide failures
Maintenance	Grease slides twice yearly	Keeps ball-bearing slides operating smoothly

Why it matters

Country of origin does not change fit or safe use, but it can affect small details like hardware style, slide construction, and labeling. Using the correct model number and following the weight limits helps prevent drawer binding, slide wear, and tip-over hazards.

For a Craftsman tool chest like model 706335080, the ideal cabinet depth is the shallowest depth that still fits your largest tools and lets drawers fully extend without crowding your walkway. Most home and garage tool cabinets work best in the 18 to 24 inch depth range; confirm your exact cabinet dimensions in the 706335080 owner's manual.

How we recommend choosing the right depth

Use these checks before you buy, place, or mount a tool cabinet:

• Measure your largest tool case or organizer and add 1 to 2 inches for clearance.
• Verify you can fully extend drawers without hitting a vehicle, workbench, or door.
• Allow space for baseboards and uneven garage walls so the cabinet sits square.
• Keep a safe walking path in front of the cabinet (especially in tight garages).
• If you store heavy tools, choose a depth that keeps the cabinet stable when drawers are open.

Depth guidelines (quick reference)

Cabinet depth	Best for	Watch-outs
16 to 18 in.	Tight spaces, narrow aisles	Bulky cases may not fit front-to-back
18 to 24 in.	Most DIY and mechanic storage	Needs more floor space and clearance
26 in. and up	Large organizers, deep trays	Can feel bulky; stability depends on loading

Why it matters

Depth affects capacity, clearance, and stability. A deeper cabinet holds more, but it also changes how weight shifts when drawers are extended. Proper loading and keeping heavy items low helps prevent slide binding and tip risk.

Setup and loading tips that protect the cabinet

• Store heaviest tools in the bottom drawers.
• Keep drawer loads within the limits listed in your manual.
• Open one drawer at a time when the cabinet is heavily loaded.
• Keep the cabinet on a level surface so drawers track smoothly.
• Lubricate ball-bearing slides on the schedule recommended in your manual.

On a Craftsman tool chest like model 706335080, the model number is typically printed on a label inside the top drawer, most often on the interior right side. Check that area first before looking for stamped numbers on the frame. See the 706335080 owner's manual for the exact label location used on your unit.

Quick places to check first

• Open the top-most drawer and look on the inside right wall for a label
• Check the drawer opening frame near the top drawer (label may face inward)
• Look along the back panel near the upper section (some chests use a secondary label)
• Inspect the side panels near the top (occasionally used for identification labels)

What the label usually includes

Most Craftsman tool chest ID labels include more than just the model number. You may see:

Item on label	What it’s used for
Model number	Matching the correct parts and hardware
Serial or production code	Identifying the exact build version
Capacity/weight info	Safe loading guidance for drawers and cabinet

If you do not see a label in the top drawer

If the label is missing or painted over, use these practical checks:

• Wipe the interior side wall with a mild cleaner to reveal faded print
• Use a flashlight and look at a low angle for an outline where a label used to be
• Check other drawers, especially if the top drawer has been replaced
• Record any numbers stamped into metal braces or the rear panel (helpful for identification)

Why it matters

The model number is the fastest way to match the right drawer slides, lock parts, keys, and mounting hardware for your Craftsman tool chest. It also helps you follow the correct maintenance and capacity guidance.

For Craftsman tool storage like model 706335080, Craftsman-branded tool boxes have been produced by different manufacturers over the years; the manual for this unit shows it was distributed by Sears Brands Management Corporation. For newer Craftsman tool storage, Stanley Black & Decker is commonly the primary brand owner and producer.

What we can confirm for Craftsman 706335080

The documentation for this tool chest focuses on safe use and service procedures and identifies the distributor rather than a specific factory.

• The manual lists the product as distributed by Sears Brands Management Corporation.
• The unit uses ball bearing slides (common on many Craftsman chests).
• The manual notes not all operating instructions apply to every model, which is typical for shared literature.

Why the “maker” can vary by year

Craftsman is a brand name used across multiple product generations, so the company that built a specific tool box can depend on when it was made and which line it came from.

What you have	What it usually indicates	Where to check
Older Craftsman chest (Sears era)	Often sourced from a contracted manufacturer	Label, model number, and literature
Newer Craftsman chest (current brand owner era)	Commonly tied to Stanley Black & Decker supply chain	Packaging, product line, and documentation

How to identify the manufacturer for your exact chest

Use these quick checks to narrow it down accurately:

• Match the model number (706335080) on the label to the literature.
• Check the data plate for “manufactured by” or “distributed by” wording.
• Compare drawer slide style and lockbar design to the diagrams and instructions in the owner's manual.
• If you are stacking chests, follow the manual’s hardware and drilling guidance so the units stay aligned.

Why it matters

Knowing who made the box helps when you are matching drawer slide hardware, lock components, and fitment details. Even small differences in slide rivet locations or lockbar style can affect repair success.
