Craftsman 706597791 tool chest Parts

On the Craftsman tool chest model 706597791, the model number is typically on a rating/ID label (sticker) placed where it stays protected but still readable. A common spot is inside a drawer area, such as the inside wall near the top drawers.

Where to check first on model 706597791

We recommend checking these locations in order:

• Inside the top drawers (look on the inside side wall or back panel)
• Inside the top right drawer area (a very common placement)
• Along the inside lip of the top compartment (under the lid, near the opening)
• On the back panel of the chest (upper section)
• Near the caster/handle side on the lower roll-away section (if your set includes it)

For model-specific handling and drawer removal steps while you search, use the 706597791 operator's manual.

Tips to find a faded or covered label

If you do not see the sticker right away, these quick checks usually help:

• Use a flashlight and look at a low angle; faded print shows up better
• Wipe dust and oil with mild detergent and water; dry fully before reading
• Check for a label hidden by drawer slides or drawer liners
• Look for an imprinted number in the metal near the label area

What the label usually includes (and why it matters)

The ID label often lists more than just the model number.

Item on label	Why you need it
Model number (706597791)	Matches the correct service parts drawing and instructions
Model description	Helps confirm the exact chest/roll-away configuration
Serial number (if present)	Useful for service identification and production run details

Why it matters

Using the exact model number helps us match the correct drawer slide style, caster hardware, and service parts drawing for your Craftsman tool chest, which prevents ordering parts that do not fit.

We can’t confirm the drawer depth for a U.S. General tool box from Craftsman model 706597791 information; this Craftsman tool chest manual focuses on safe use, caster installation, and drawer slide removal, not drawer dimensions. For exact U.S. General drawer depth, use that tool box’s model specs.

What we can confirm for Craftsman 706597791

From the 706597791 operator’s manual, we can verify handling and capacity guidance that affects how you load drawers, even if it doesn’t list drawer depth.

• Max weight per drawer: 25 lb
• Max total loaded weight (tool chest plus contents): 400 lb
• Use brakes when parked to prevent rolling
• Avoid opening more than one drawer at a time to reduce tip risk
• Push (don’t pull) when moving the chest

How to measure drawer depth the right way (works for U.S. General and Craftsman)

Drawer “depth” can mean different things. Measure with the drawer fully closed.

• Inside usable depth: back wall to inside of drawer front
• Outside drawer depth: back of drawer box to outside of drawer front
• Cabinet depth limit: inside back of cabinet to the drawer slide stop

Quick measurement table

Measurement you need	Measure from	Measure to
Inside usable depth	Inside back panel	Inside front panel
Outside drawer depth	Back of drawer box	Outside of drawer front
Cabinet depth limit	Inside cabinet back	Slide stop/face frame

Why it matters

Drawer depth determines whether long tools (pry bars, torque wrenches, breaker bars) fit flat, and it helps prevent overloading or binding the slides when drawers are packed front-to-back.

Craftsman tool chests like model 706597791 may be covered by a warranty, but the exact warranty length and what is included (for example, slides, casters, or finish) depends on the specific warranty statement for that product and purchase. We recommend confirming the terms using the 706597791 operator's manual.

What we can confirm for model 706597791

The documentation for this Craftsman tool chest focuses on safe use, assembly, and maintenance (for example, caster installation, drawer removal, lubrication, and weight limits). Warranty coverage is not clearly stated in the available model documentation, so we use the manual as the best starting point for model-specific guidance.

How “lifetime warranty” usually works for Craftsman storage

“Lifetime” coverage is not always universal across every toolbox component. In many cases, warranty terms vary by:

• Product line (tool storage vs. hand tools)
• Component type (structure vs. consumable or wear items)
• Proof of purchase requirements
• Exclusions (misuse, overloading, corrosion, modifications)
• Where the claim is handled (retailer, manufacturer, or service channel)

Quick checklist before you assume it is lifetime

Use this checklist for your 706597791 tool chest:

• Find the model and description fields in your paperwork and compare to the label on the chest
• Check whether the warranty distinguishes tool chest vs. roll-away components
• Note any stated weight limits (overloading can affect coverage)
• Confirm whether drawer slides/casters are treated as wear items
• Keep your receipt or order confirmation available

Common components and typical warranty variability

Component	Often covered the same as the cabinet?	Notes
Cabinet/frame	Often	Usually tied to defects in materials/workmanship
Drawer slides	Sometimes	Can be treated as wear or damage from overloading
Casters/brakes	Sometimes	Damage from towing or uneven floors is commonly excluded
Finish/trim	Sometimes	Scratches and corrosion are often excluded

Why it matters

Tool chests are frequently damaged by tipping, towing, or overloading. For model 706597791, the manual’s safety and weight guidance helps you avoid the kinds of use conditions that commonly fall outside warranty coverage.

What we can confirm for model 706597791

• Look for a label inside a drawer, on the back panel, or near the caster mounting area.
• Check for wording like “Made in …” or “Assembled in …”.
• Compare the label’s model number to 706597791 to avoid mix-ups with similar chests.

Back of cabinet	Model/serial label	Best for exact identification
Near casters	Stamped plate or sticker	Common on roll-aways
