Are Craftsman tool boxes made in China?
Yes, many Craftsman tool boxes, including storage products like the Craftsman 65035 pro-set roller cabinet, are made in China; Craftsman also sources some products from other countries, and the exact origin can vary by specific tool box and production run.
Check the product identification label on the cabinet itself; it typically lists the country of origin and other key details.
- Look for a label inside the top drawer, on the back panel, or near the caster mounting area
- Check for wording like “Made in …” or “Assembled in …”
- Record the model number (65035) and any serial/production code
- Compare the label details to your purchase paperwork if you still have it
- If the label is missing or unreadable, contact Sears PartsDirect support with the model and any identifying marks
Country-of-origin wording can be confusing. Here is how it’s commonly used on tool storage products:
| Label wording | What it typically indicates | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Made in China | Cabinet and major components manufactured in China | Most direct indicator of origin |
| Assembled in USA | Final assembly done in the U.S. (parts may be imported) | Origin of parts can still be mixed |
| Imported | Product brought in from outside the U.S. | Country may be listed elsewhere on the label |
For a roller cabinet, the country of manufacture usually does not change how you maintain it day to day, but it can affect hardware compatibility (drawer slides, casters, locks) across different production runs.
If you are ordering replacement hardware, use the exact model number (65035) and match measurements (slide length, hole spacing, caster stem/plate pattern) before you buy.

What are the uses of a tool cabinet?
A tool cabinet like the Craftsman 65035 pro-set roller cabinet is used to organize, protect, and store tools and supplies so they are easy to find, safer to handle, and less likely to be lost or damaged. It also helps you keep a cleaner, more efficient workspace.
- Sort hand tools by drawer (wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers)
- Store power tools and accessories (batteries, chargers, bits, blades)
- Keep small hardware organized (nuts, bolts, washers, fasteners)
- Protect precision tools from dust and impact (torque wrenches, calipers)
- Create a mobile work center when the cabinet has casters (move tools to the job)
- Improve shop safety by reducing clutter and trip hazards
| What you store | Best practice | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy tools | Put in lower drawers | Lowers tip risk and makes rolling easier |
| Small parts | Use bins/dividers | Prevents mixing and speeds up finding items |
| Frequently used tools | Top drawers | Saves time during repetitive tasks |
| Delicate tools | Add drawer liners | Reduces slipping, scratches, and noise |
A well-set-up tool cabinet reduces time spent searching for tools, helps prevent tool damage (especially for measuring tools), and supports safer work habits by keeping sharp or heavy items contained.

What size is a Craftsman 3 drawer tool box?
A Craftsman 3-drawer portable toolbox is typically about 20.5 inches wide, 11.8 inches high, and 8.6 inches deep. For the Craftsman 65035 pro-set roller cabinet, those dimensions do not apply because it is a larger rolling tool cabinet, not a portable 3-drawer box.
Most portable 3-drawer metal toolboxes in the Craftsman style fall into this general size range:
- Width: 20 to 21 inches
- Height: 11 to 12 inches
- Depth: 8 to 9 inches
- Drawer count: 3 (usually shallow drawers)
- Use case: carryable storage for hand tools and small parts
| Item | Typical size | How it’s used |
|---|---|---|
| Portable 3-drawer toolbox | ~20.5 in W x 11.8 in H x 8.6 in D | Lift-and-carry, benchtop storage |
| Craftsman 65035 pro-set roller cabinet | Much larger than a portable box | Rolling shop storage with multiple drawers |
If you are trying to match a liner, fit it in a vehicle, or plan shelf space, measure your box directly:
- Measure overall width at the widest point (including end caps)
- Measure overall depth front-to-back (including the handle if it sticks out)
- Measure overall height from the bottom to the top of the lid
- If you need drawer liners, measure inside drawer width and depth (not the outside)
Toolbox dimensions affect fitment for drawer liners, foam inserts, truck bed storage, and workbench clearance. Mixing up a portable 3-drawer toolbox with a roller cabinet model like Craftsman 65035 is a common reason measurements do not match.
For help identifying which Craftsman model you have before ordering parts or accessories, use how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).
