Craftsman 706650641 5-drawer roller cabinet Parts

Some Craftsman tool boxes are made overseas, but it is not accurate to say Craftsman tool boxes are commonly made in China. For your Craftsman model 706650641 5-drawer roller cabinet, the only reliable way to answer is to check the country-of-origin marking on the cabinet itself.

How to confirm the country of origin on model 706650641

Look for a label or stamped plate on the cabinet; it lists where the unit was made or assembled.

• Check the back panel and side panels
• Look inside the top drawer and around the drawer slide area
• Inspect near the caster mounting plate and bottom frame
• Note any date code or serial number printed on the label
• Take a clear photo; it helps when matching replacement hardware and finishes

“Made in” vs “assembled in”: what the label means

These phrases can differ even within similar-looking tool storage.

Label wording	What it means	Why you care
Made in (country)	Primary manufacturing occurred in that country	Helps match drawer slides, locks, and casters by design family
Assembled in (country)	Final assembly occurred there; components may be global	Small hardware differences can still exist
Made in USA with global materials	Built in the U.S. using some imported components	Useful when comparing to similar cabinets from other runs

Why it matters for parts and fit

Tool cabinets often change suppliers for drawer slides, lock cylinders, and casters. The origin label and date code help confirm which version you have so replacement parts and hardware match correctly.

Yes. On the Craftsman 706650641 5-drawer roller cabinet, you can remove the drawers so the cabinet is lighter and easier to handle; just support the drawer, release the slide locks (or slide tabs), and pull the drawer straight out.

How to remove the drawers (typical Craftsman roller cabinet method)

• Empty the drawer completely (tools add a lot of weight fast).
• Pull the drawer fully open so you can see the slide rails.
• Find the release on each slide (usually a small lever or tab on the inner rail).
• Press the left and right releases (often one side pushes up while the other pushes down).
• While holding the releases, pull the drawer straight out and lift slightly if needed.
• Set the drawer on a flat surface so the slides do not get bent.

Moving the cabinet safely with drawers removed

Removing drawers helps, but the cabinet can still tip if the weight is high or the casters catch.

• Lock the casters (if equipped) before you start removing drawers.
• Remove drawers from the top down to reduce tip risk.
• Keep the cabinet as empty as possible before rolling it.
• Push from the lower frame, not the top edge or handle.
• Roll slowly over seams and thresholds; avoid cords and debris.

Quick comparison: move it with drawers in vs. out

Option	Pros	Cons
Drawers installed	Faster, less handling	Heavier, higher tip risk, slides can slam
Drawers removed	Lighter, easier to control	Takes time; slide releases can pinch fingers

Reinstalling the drawers

• Extend the cabinet slides fully.
• Align the drawer slides with the cabinet slides.
• Push the drawer in evenly until it seats and clicks past the stops.
• Open and close the drawer to confirm smooth travel and full latch.

Why it matters

Drawer slides and ball bearings can be damaged if a loaded drawer is yanked out or allowed to drop. Removing drawers correctly protects the slide hardware and makes the Craftsman 706650641 cabinet safer to move.

On the Craftsman 706650641 5-drawer roller cabinet, lock replacement is typically done by removing the lock retainer from inside the cabinet, sliding the lock cylinder out from the front, then installing the new cylinder with the cam (tailpiece) oriented the same way.

Before you start

• Empty the top drawer and the drawer directly below it so you can see and reach the lock area
• Keep the drawers closed while you remove the lock so the locking bar and cam are not under load
• Protect the finish with cardboard or a towel
• Use a small container for clips, washers, and screws

Steps to replace a common toolbox lock cylinder

1. Unlock the cabinet (if possible) so the cam is not pressing on the locking bar.
2. Open the top drawer to access the back side of the lock area.
3. Take a photo of the cam (tailpiece) position so you can match it during reassembly.
4. Remove the lock retainer from the back of the cylinder (commonly a spring clip or a retaining nut).
5. Pull the lock cylinder out from the front of the cabinet.
6. Transfer the cam/tailpiece to the new cylinder if it is not included.
7. Insert the new cylinder from the front; reinstall the retainer.
8. Test locking and unlocking with drawers open, then closed.

If the key turns but it will not lock

Symptom	Most common cause	What to do
Turns freely, no lock action	Cam installed in the wrong orientation	Remove retainer and rotate cam 180 degrees
Hard to turn	Cam rubbing or cylinder not centered	Re-seat cylinder; verify retainer is fully engaged
Locks open, not closed	Drawer stack not fully seated	Close drawers firmly; check slide alignment

Why it matters

The lock cam must correctly engage the locking bar; if it is misaligned, the cabinet may not secure or the key may bind.

On a Craftsman tool box like model 706650641 (5-drawer roller cabinet), the serial number is usually on the same ID label as the model number. We most often see that label inside a drawer (commonly the top drawer area) or on the cabinet frame near the drawer openings.

Common places to check first

Look for a paper label or metal tag in these spots:

• Inside the top drawer (side wall, back wall, or underside of the drawer top lip)
• On the inside cabinet frame behind the top drawer (pull the drawer out fully)
• Along the back panel of the cabinet (upper corners are common)
• Near the caster mounting area (lower rear or underside edge)
• On the side panel near the top rail

How to find it faster (without damaging anything)

• Empty the top drawer and use a flashlight; labels are often dark and easy to miss.
• Wipe dusty surfaces with a damp cloth first; printed serials can be faint.
• If drawers have release levers, remove the top drawer to inspect the cabinet frame.
• Take a photo and zoom in; serial characters are easier to read on a phone.

What the label usually looks like

What you’ll see	What it’s used for	Tip
Model number (example: 706650641)	Matching the correct parts list	Write it down exactly
Serial number	Identifying production run and finish variations	Photograph it for accuracy
Date code (sometimes)	Age reference	Keep with your records

Why it matters

The serial number helps distinguish small production changes (drawer slides, locks, casters, trim) that can affect fit when you’re ordering tool storage parts.
