Are Craftsman tool chests made in the USA?
Some Craftsman tool chests are made in the USA, but it depends on the specific series and where that chest was manufactured. For the Craftsman roller cabinet model 706650220, the most reliable way to confirm origin is to check the product label on the cabinet itself and compare it to the listing details when ordering parts.
Look for a data label or stamping on the tool chest (commonly inside a top drawer, on the back panel, or near the caster mounting area). Check for:
- “Made in USA” or “Made in USA with global materials” wording
- Country of origin (for example, USA, Mexico, China)
- A manufacturing location (city/state) and date code
- The full model number 706650220 (match it exactly)
- Any series name (S1000, S2000, etc.), if shown
When Craftsman uses wording like “Made in USA with global materials,” it typically means final assembly and manufacturing steps occurred in the United States, but some components (steel, slides, casters, hardware) may be sourced internationally.
| Label wording you see | What it usually indicates |
|---|---|
| Made in USA | Manufactured in the United States (label may still note sourced components) |
| Made in USA with global materials | Built in the United States using some imported components |
| Made in (country) | Manufactured in the listed country |
Country-of-origin and series can affect drawer slide style, lock hardware, and caster mounting patterns. Matching the exact model number 706650220 helps ensure you get compatible tool storage parts.

Are Craftsman tool boxes lifetime warranty?
Craftsman tool boxes are not automatically covered by a lifetime warranty. For the Craftsman roller cabinet model 706650220, warranty length depends on the specific product’s warranty terms and your purchase details; many Craftsman tool storage warranties are time-limited (often in the 1 to 10 year range).
Use these quick checks to confirm the exact coverage you have:
- Look for a warranty statement on your receipt, order confirmation, or packaging
- Check for a label or sticker inside a drawer or on the back panel that lists warranty terms
- Confirm whether coverage differs for the cabinet body, drawer slides, casters, and locks
- Note the purchase date; most warranties run from the original purchase date
- Keep your model number 706650220 and any serial information handy for reference
Even when a tool chest has a longer warranty, coverage can vary by part of the cabinet.
| Component | Common coverage pattern | What’s usually excluded |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet frame/body | Longer term coverage is common | Cosmetic wear, dents, finish issues from use |
| Drawer slides | Often shorter term | Damage from overloading or misalignment |
| Casters/wheels | Often shorter term | Flat spots, wear from rough floors |
| Locks/keys | Varies | Lost keys, forced entry damage |
Warranty terms affect whether you should repair a drawer that won’t close, replace worn casters, or address a lock issue as a parts-and-repair project versus a warranty claim. Knowing the exact coverage also helps you avoid delays when you are trying to get the cabinet back in service.
This model page may not list every replacement component for tool storage. If you are trying to match a drawer slide, caster, or lock, we recommend searching by the full model number 706650220 on Sears PartsDirect and comparing photos and measurements.

Where is the model number on a Craftsman tool chest?
On a Craftsman tool chest like model 706650220, the model number is usually on an ID label or stamped into the metal. The most common spots are inside a drawer (often the top drawer) or on the back of the roller cabinet frame.
- Inside the top drawer on a sticker or label (side wall, back wall, or drawer bottom)
- On the back panel of the cabinet (label or stamped number)
- On an end panel near the drawer slides or frame rail
- On a vertical support just behind the drawer stack
- Near the bottom frame or caster mounting area (more common on older units)
- Pull out the top drawer and look along the inside side walls and back wall.
- Check the back of the cabinet with a flashlight; look for a label and also for stamped characters.
- Wipe dusty areas with a rag; stamped numbers can be hard to see until the surface is clean.
- If the label is damaged, look for a second identifier stamped into the frame.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A printed label with multiple lines | Model and sometimes serial/date info | Copy the full model line exactly |
| Stamped numbers/letters in the steel | Permanent model or production code | Write it down and compare characters carefully |
| Only partial digits visible | Label wear or paint overspray | Clean gently and use angled light to read it |
We use the model number to match the correct tool storage parts and hardware for your Craftsman roller cabinet, especially when drawer slide styles and latch designs changed across production runs.

Can you remove the drawers from a Craftsman tool box?
Yes. On the Craftsman 706650220 roller cabinet, you can remove drawers so the tool chest is lighter and easier to move; most drawers come out by releasing the slide locks (or tabs) on each side, then pulling the drawer straight out.
- Empty the drawer completely (tools add a lot of weight fast).
- Open the drawer fully so you can see the slide rails.
- Look for a release lever or tab on each slide (one side often releases up, the other down).
- Hold both release levers while pulling the drawer straight toward you.
- Set the drawer on a flat surface to avoid bending the slides.
Removing drawers helps prevent tipping and reduces strain on the casters.
- Lock the cabinet lid and any drawer locks (if equipped).
- Keep heavier items low; move the empty cabinet first, then reload.
- Roll slowly over thresholds and cracks; avoid pulling from the top edge.
- If the cabinet has a side handle, push from the handle side for better control.
| Slide style | What you’ll see | Typical removal method |
|---|---|---|
| Ball-bearing slides | Telescoping rails with a small lever | Press both slide release levers, then pull out |
| Friction slides | Simpler rails, fewer moving parts | Lift slightly and pull out (varies by design) |
| Detent stop | Drawer “clicks” at the end of travel | Release detent or lift past stop |
Taking drawers out before moving reduces the chance of bent drawer slides, damaged bearings, and cabinet tip-over. It also makes it easier to realign drawers later so they close smoothly.
- Check for a drawer lock engaged.
- Inspect for a bent slide rail or missing ball bearings.
- Try opening and closing the drawer slightly while holding the release levers.
- Remove the drawer above it (if possible) to improve access and visibility.
