Craftsman 706657840 4-drawer tool chest Parts

On a Craftsman tool chest, the model number is typically on the product ID label or stamped into the metal frame. For this Craftsman model 706657840, the model number is also printed on the cover of the owner's manual, which you can match to the label on your chest.

Look in these spots first (they are the most common on Craftsman chests and roll-a-ways):

• Inside the top drawer, on a sticker/label along a side wall or the back wall
• On the back panel of the chest (often near an edge or corner)
• On an end panel or end brace near the drawer stack
• On a vertical support near the drawer slides
• Stamped into the metal frame on older units (instead of a paper label)

Use these checks to avoid mixing up similar-looking models:

• Write the model number exactly as shown, including any dots or dashes if present
• If the label is worn, use a flashlight and look for faint stamped characters
• If your chest has a key lock, confirm the series in the owner's manual (this manual covers multiple related models)
• If you have a matching roll-a-way, check both units; sometimes only one label is easy to read

Tool chests often share the same look across several Craftsman model numbers, but drawer slides, lock bars, and hardware can differ. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct tool storage parts and avoid ordering the wrong components.

Yes, some Craftsman tool boxes are made in China, and others are made in different countries depending on the specific product line and production run. For your Craftsman 706657840 4-drawer tool chest, the most reliable way to confirm origin is to check the product label on the chest and the details in the owner's manual.

Look for the country-of-origin marking in these common spots:

• The model and serial label (often inside a drawer, on the back panel, or inside the top lid area)
• A sticker near the key lock or inside the top tray
• The carton label (if you still have the original packaging)
• The first pages of the manual or warranty paperwork

The Craftsman 706657840 manual focuses on assembly and use, such as lubricating drawer slides several times a year, keeping drawers closed and locked when moving the unit, and using the lock bars and keys correctly. Those details help you maintain smooth drawer operation and protect the key lock system. See the owner's manual for the exact drawer slide removal steps and locking instructions.

Craftsman has sourced tool storage from multiple manufacturers over time, so “Craftsman” on the badge does not point to a single factory location.

• Different sizes and series can be built in different countries
• Manufacturing can change by year without changing the model family name
• Retail packaging and labels are the most consistent source for origin

Country of origin is mainly useful for documentation, resale, and compliance needs. For repairs and maintenance, what matters most is the exact model number (706657840) and the hardware and drawer slide style described in the manual.

Craftsman tool boxes are not automatically covered by a lifetime warranty. Warranty length depends on the specific toolbox or tool chest and the paperwork that came with it; for Craftsman model 706657840, use the owner's manual and your purchase documents to confirm the exact coverage.

Use these checks to match the warranty terms to your exact tool chest:

• Find the model and serial information on the ID label and confirm it matches 706657840
• Review any warranty card, receipt, or order confirmation that came with the chest
• Check for separate coverage on accessories (locks, keys, casters, drawer slides) versus the cabinet
• Note the purchase date; most warranties run from the original purchase date
• Keep your documentation with the chest so you can reference it later

The manual for Craftsman 706657840 focuses on assembly and care, which helps prevent issues that can look like “defects.” For example, it instructs lubricating the drawer slide channels several times a year and keeping drawers closed and locked when moving the unit. Following these steps reduces drawer binding, slide wear, and tip hazards.

• Lubricate drawer slide channels with oil or petroleum jelly several times per year
• Close all drawers before moving the chest
• Lock the unit when moving it
• Store the spare key in a safe place (not inside the chest)

Warranty terms vary by product line; this table shows what often differs between tool storage warranties.

Knowing the exact warranty term helps you decide whether to troubleshoot (lubricate slides, adjust drawer alignment, verify lock bar operation) or pursue a warranty claim using the correct documentation for your specific Craftsman tool chest.

Yes. On the Craftsman 706657840 4-drawer tool chest, the drawers are removable by releasing the slide stop on each drawer slide, then pulling the drawer out; the removal and reinstall steps are listed in the owner's manual.

• Pull the drawer all the way open.
• Push the drawer back in slightly (a fraction of an inch).
• Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the slide.
• Push in on the stop until it clears the lance.
• Repeat on the other slide, then pull the drawer straight out.

To reinstall, pry each stop out far enough to engage the lance (about 3/16 to 1/4 inch), then push the drawer onto the slides until the stops engage.

Removing drawers reduces weight, but it also makes the cabinet easier to tip. We recommend:

• Remove heavy tools first, especially from upper drawers.
• Keep any remaining drawers completely closed.
• Lock the unit before moving it.
• Push from the lower frame, not the top tray.

The slide stops and lances control drawer retention during normal use. Using the stop-release method prevents bent slides, damaged channels, and cabinet misalignment.

The Craftsman model 706657840 is a 4-drawer tool chest, so a “26-inch 3-drawer middle chest” listing is not an exact match to this model. Price depends on the exact model/SKU and condition; use the model tag and the owner's manual to confirm you are pricing the correct unit.

Use these checks so you are comparing the same product:

• Match the model number on the chest to 706657840
• Confirm the drawer count (this model is a 4-drawer tool chest)
• Compare key-lock and lock-bar style (if equipped)
• Verify included hardware and accessories (keys, fasteners, casters if applicable)
• Factor in shipping, delivery, and promotions

The assembly instructions cover Craftsman premium chests and roll-a-ways with key locks, including model 706657840. It also calls out common setup and care items.

Tool chest pricing is tied to exact configuration. A 3-drawer “middle chest” can look similar to a 4-drawer tool chest, but dimensions, hardware, and replacement parts do not line up, which changes value and compatibility.
