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 the Craftsman 706651670 9-drawer tool chest, we recommend confirming the country of origin using the product label on the chest and then matching that information when you shop for replacement parts on Sears PartsDirect.
What to check on your 706651670 tool chest
Look for a label or stamping that lists the country of origin and manufacturing details.
- Check the back panel, inside the top lid area, or inside the top drawer
- Look for wording such as “Made in USA”, “Made in USA with global materials”, or an imported origin statement
- Record the full model number (706651670) and any serial/production code
- Take a clear photo of the label for your records
- If the chest has a stainless or painted finish, check the label area before cleaning so it stays readable
Why the answer varies by Craftsman tool chest
Craftsman tool storage is produced across different product lines and factories, so “Craftsman” alone does not guarantee a single country of origin.
| What you’re looking at | What it tells you | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| “Made in USA” statement | Built in the U.S. | Keep the label info with your records |
| “Made in USA with global materials” | U.S. assembly with some imported components | Use the exact model and label details when ordering |
| Imported origin statement | Built outside the U.S. | Match parts by model number and diagrams |
Why it matters
Country-of-origin details do not change how you identify parts for Craftsman 706651670, but the exact model number and label information help ensure you select the correct drawer hardware, slides, latches, and trim pieces when you service the chest.

Where is the model number on a Craftsman tool chest?
On a Craftsman 706651670 9-drawer tool chest, the model number is typically on a sticker (or a stamped marking) on the cabinet body, not on the drawers. We most often see it on the inside back panel, a side wall behind the drawers, or near the lock area.
Common places to check
- Inside the top drawer area: look on the cabinet side walls and the back panel
- Behind the drawers: fully remove a drawer and check the rear cabinet panel and vertical supports
- Near the lock and key cylinder: check the inside face of the front frame around the lock
- Back of the cabinet: look for a label near the upper corners or along the center back
- Bottom edge of the cabinet: check the lower frame rail (especially on older chests)
Quick search method (fastest)
- Empty one upper drawer.
- Pull the drawer fully open and lift it out (most tool chest drawers lift slightly, then pull out).
- Use a flashlight to scan the cabinet back panel and the vertical rails.
- If you find multiple numbers, use the one that matches the model format (for this unit: 706651670).
What the label usually looks like
| What you might see | What it means | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact tool chest version | Use it to match parts and diagrams |
| Serial number | Production identifier | Keep it for your records |
| Manufacturing code/date | Factory tracking info | Helpful for confirming age |
Why it matters
The model number is the key to getting the right replacement hardware (drawer slides, locks, casters, handles) and matching the correct parts diagrams for your Craftsman tool chest.

Do Craftsman tools boxes have a lifetime warranty?
Some Craftsman tool boxes and tool storage products are covered by a limited warranty, but “lifetime warranty” is not universal across all Craftsman tool chests. For your Craftsman 706651670 9-drawer tool chest, confirm the exact coverage by checking the warranty statement that came with the chest or your purchase documentation.
What “lifetime warranty” usually means for tool storage
Tool storage warranties often cover specific defects in materials or workmanship, and they commonly exclude normal wear, cosmetic damage, misuse, overloading, and corrosion.
Typical coverage areas:
- Drawer slides failing under normal use
- Latch or lock mechanism defects
- Weld or frame defects
Common exclusions:
- Bent drawers from overloading
- Damage from drops, impacts, or improper transport
- Rust from moisture exposure
Quick checks to identify your tool chest warranty
Use these practical checks to match your chest to the correct warranty terms.
- Look for a model/serial label on the cabinet body (often inside a top drawer, on the back panel, or inside the right-side drawer area)
- Check your receipt or order confirmation for warranty duration and terms
- Review any paperwork that mentions “tool storage,” “tool chest,” or “cabinet” coverage
- If the chest was part of a set (top chest + rolling cabinet), verify each piece separately
Warranty terms vary; here is what typically changes
| Warranty detail | What varies by product line | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 1-year, limited lifetime, or lifetime on select components | Sets expectations for long-term support |
| What is covered | Slides, structure, locks, casters | Helps you document the right failure |
| Proof required | Receipt, photos, model/serial | Speeds up claim processing |
Why it matters
Tool chests fail most often from overloading drawers, side-loading slides, or moving the chest with drawers heavily loaded. Knowing the exact warranty terms helps you decide whether to file a claim, adjust loading habits, or replace worn hardware.
If you need replacement parts
If you are repairing drawer operation (slides, latches, locks) or hardware fitment, use your model number (706651670) to search and order compatible parts through Sears PartsDirect.
