Where is the model number on a Craftsman tool box?
On the Craftsman tool chest model 706586400, the model number is on a label inside the interior right side of the topmost drawer. Open the top drawer fully and look along the right interior wall for the identification label; this is the number you will use to match service parts.
- Unlock the drawers (if your chest is locked) and open the topmost drawer.
- Look on the interior right side panel of that drawer opening.
- Wipe dust or grease off the label so the full number is readable.
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (for this unit: 706586400).
- Keep a photo of the label for future parts lookups.
Most Craftsman tool chests list several identifiers on the same label. Use the model number when searching parts.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example for this unit |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact tool chest version for parts | 706586400 |
| Serial number | Tracks the individual unit | Varies |
| Capacity info | Helps prevent drawer/box overload | Varies |
Sometimes the label is easy to miss because it sits on the inside wall of the drawer cavity.
- Check the right interior wall with the drawer fully extended.
- Use a flashlight to look behind the drawer side rail.
- If the label is damaged, look for a second label in the same area on the cabinet wall.
Using the correct model number helps us match the right drawer slides, lock parts, casters, and hardware for your specific Craftsman tool chest configuration. The fastest way to avoid ordering the wrong part is to confirm the model number from the cabinet label.
For more model identification and care details, use the 706586400 operator’s manual.

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 model. For Craftsman model 706586400, the most reliable way to confirm the country of origin is to check the product labeling and the documentation in the owner's manual.
Look for origin information in a few common places:
- The rating/ID label on the back of the chest or inside a drawer area
- A sticker or stamp near the lock cylinder or inside the top lid area (if your unit has a top chest)
- The carton label (if you still have the packaging)
- The documentation that shipped with the chest (often repeats the label details)
When you see wording like this, it typically indicates:
- Final assembly and manufacturing steps occur in the United States
- Some components (steel, slides, locks, casters, fasteners) may be sourced globally
- The exact sourcing can vary by production run and factory
| Label wording | What it indicates | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| “Made in USA” | U.S. manufacturing under applicable labeling rules | Confirm on the product ID label |
| “Made in USA with global materials” | U.S. build/assembly with some imported components | Match the wording to your label |
| “Made in (country)” | Manufactured in the listed country | Use that for parts and documentation matching |
Country of origin does not change how the drawers, slides, lock lever, or lid lock operate, but it can matter for identifying the exact version of a tool chest when you are matching documentation, hardware, or replacement components.

Does a Craftsman toolbox have a lifetime warranty?
Some Craftsman toolboxes are covered by a limited lifetime warranty, but warranty terms vary by product line and purchase details. For your Craftsman tool chest model 706586400, use the warranty paperwork that came with the chest and the product information in the 706586400 owner's manual to confirm the exact coverage and what is excluded.
A “lifetime” warranty on a tool chest typically focuses on defects in materials or workmanship under normal use. It commonly does not cover damage from misuse, overloading, modifications, or accidents.
Common exclusions include:
- Bent drawer slides from overloaded drawers
- Damage from tipping, towing, or transporting while loaded
- Cosmetic wear (scratches, dents, finish wear)
- Rust or corrosion from harsh environments
- Damage from alterations (welding lock bars, adding electrical equipment)
Use these steps so you match the warranty to the exact product you own.
- Find the model label on the interior right side of the topmost drawer
- Record the model number and any additional ID information on the label
- Check the warranty section in your included paperwork and compare it to the product details in the 706586400 owner's manual
- Keep your proof of purchase; many warranty claims require it
| Item to check | What to look for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty term | “Limited lifetime” vs. limited years | Sets expectations for how long coverage lasts |
| Covered parts | Cabinet, drawers, slides, casters, lock | Tells you what failures qualify |
| Exclusions | Overload, transport damage, modifications | Explains common claim denials |
| Claim requirements | Proof of purchase, photos, serial/model info | Prevents delays |
Tool chests fail most often from preventable causes: exceeding drawer capacity, moving the chest with drawers unlocked, or transporting it loaded. Following the safety and capacity guidance in the manual helps you avoid damage that warranties typically exclude.

How to get replacement Craftsman tools?
For Craftsman model 706586400 tool chest related replacements (keys, drawer slides, casters, handles, and hardware), we use the model’s parts and service information in the owner's manual to identify what fits and how it installs. For hand tool warranty replacements, use your warranty documentation and submit a warranty claim through the Craftsman warranty process.
The manual for this tool chest focuses on serviceable cart and drawer components, plus assembly hardware. Common replacement needs include:
- Drawer slides and slide carriers (ball-bearing slide components)

- Casters (swivel and fixed caster sets)
- Side handle and mounting screws
- Rivets and fasteners used to mount slides
Start by matching the issue to the assembly or operation section so you replace the correct component the first time.
- Find the model number 706586400 on the rating label and match it to your documentation
- Use the parts diagrams and hardware callouts to identify fasteners (screws, nuts, rivets)
- For drawer problems, confirm whether the issue is the drawer, the slide, or the lock
- Keep drawers matched to their original slides for smooth operation
- If slides are riveted, plan to drill out and replace rivets (the manual specifies a 5/32-in drill bit and 5/32-in rivets)
| Symptom | Most common cause | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| Drawer won’t come out | Release buttons not pressed | Use the drawer release buttons and remove the drawer |
| Drawer binds or feels rough | Slide mismatch or damaged slide | Reinstall the drawer on its original slide set |
| Slide is loose on cabinet | Rivets failed or missing | Drill out old rivets and replace with 5/32-in rivets |
| Top chest drawers won’t open | Lock lever engaged | Move the lock lever to the unlocked position |
Using the correct tool chest components and hardware keeps drawers operating smoothly and prevents damage to the cabinet. It also helps you avoid overloading; the manual warns not to exceed the maximum product weight (including contents).
