Craftsman 706653480 tool box Parts

A tool box is a smaller, more portable container for a basic set of hand tools; a tool chest is larger, heavier, and built for higher-capacity storage and organization. For Craftsman model 706653480, you are looking at a tool chest style product meant to store more tools with better drawer organization.

How to choose the right one

• Choose a tool box if you need grab-and-go portability for a small set of tools.

Yes. Craftsman tool boxes, including the Craftsman 706653480 tool chest, are made in multiple countries; many units and components are manufactured in China, while some Craftsman products are made in other international locations (and some Craftsman items are made in the U.S.).

What this means for your Craftsman 706653480 tool chest

Country of origin can vary by production run, supplier, and even by individual components (slides, casters, locks). The most reliable way to confirm where your specific chest was made is to check the product label on the unit.

Where to look for the country-of-origin label

• Inside the top lid area or underside of the lid (top chest)
• On the back panel near the lower edge
• Inside a drawer side wall or behind the drawer (if removable)
• Near the caster mounting plate (roller cabinet)
• On the original carton label (if you still have it)

Quick guide: “Made in” vs “Assembled in”

Different wording on the label can change what it’s telling you.

Label wording	What it typically indicates	What to do next
Made in China	Final manufacturing occurred in China	Use the label as your reference for your unit
Assembled in USA (with global parts)	Final assembly in the U.S., parts may be imported	Check for additional component labels
Distributed by	Branding and distribution info only	Look elsewhere on the chest for “Made in”

Why it matters

Knowing the origin helps when you are matching replacement hardware (drawer slides, locks, keys, casters) and finish details, since suppliers and specifications can differ between runs even within the same model family.

To remove drawers from a Craftsman tool chest model 706653480, fully open the drawer, release the slide locks (or lift to disengage, depending on slide style), then pull the drawer straight out while supporting its weight so it does not bind or drop.

Before you start (safety and setup)

• Empty the drawer completely; heavy tools make the drawer harder to control.
• Pull the chest away from the wall so you have room to work.
• Wear gloves; drawer slide edges can be sharp.
• If the chest is on casters, lock the wheels so it cannot roll.
• Have a helper nearby for wide or deep drawers.

Drawer removal steps (most common Craftsman slide styles)

1. Open the drawer all the way until it stops.
2. Find the release points on the slides (usually near the front of each slide rail).
3. Use the table below to choose the correct release action.
4. Hold both sides level, then pull the drawer forward and out.

Slide release quick guide

Slide type you see	What it looks like	What we do to release it
Lever-release ball-bearing slides	Small lever/tab on each side	Push one lever up and the other down (often opposite directions), then pull out
Friction/roller slides	No obvious levers; drawer “lifts” slightly at the stop	Lift the front of the drawer slightly, then pull forward to clear the stop
Detent stop slides	A firm “catch” near full extension	Press the detent area while pulling straight out

If the drawer will not come out

• Check for a rear stop screw or bent metal stop on either slide.
• Look for misalignment; push the drawer fully closed, then reopen and try again.
• If one side releases and the other does not, re-seat the drawer level and retry both releases together.
• Clean debris from the slide track; dried grease and metal shavings can jam the bearings.

Why it matters

Removing drawers the right way prevents bent slide rails, broken ball-bearing retainers, and drawer “racking” (twisting) that causes sticking and poor alignment.

Craftsman tool boxes are not automatically covered by a lifetime warranty. For the Craftsman tool box model 706653480, warranty coverage depends on the specific warranty terms that came with your purchase; many tool chests and boxes are covered for a limited number of years rather than for life.

What to expect for Craftsman tool box warranties

Warranty terms vary by product line and purchase date, but these are the most common patterns we see for tool storage:

• Limited-term coverage (often 1 to 10 years) for the tool chest structure, drawer slides, or finish
• Different coverage by component, where casters, locks, and drawer hardware can have separate terms
• Proof of purchase requirements (receipt, order confirmation, or purchase date)
• Exclusions for normal wear, cosmetic damage, misuse, overloading drawers, or corrosion
• Commercial use limits, where shop or fleet use can shorten coverage

How to confirm the warranty for model 706653480

Use these quick checks to match your tool chest to the correct warranty statement:

1. Locate the model and serial label (commonly inside a drawer, on the back panel, or near a corner seam).
2. Record the purchase date and retailer (warranty terms can differ by selling channel and time period).
3. Check any included paperwork, especially the warranty card or product insert.
4. If you are missing paperwork, use our model number resources to ensure you are searching the right product family: how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).

Fast checklist

What you have	What it tells you	Why it helps
Model number (706653480)	Exact product identity	Prevents mixing warranty terms across similar chests
Purchase date	Warranty start point	Determines whether coverage is still active
Photos of issue	Condition and failure type	Helps separate defect vs. wear/overload

Why it matters

Tool chest warranties often cover manufacturing defects, but not damage from overloaded drawers, impacts, or corrosion. Knowing the exact term helps you decide whether to pursue warranty service or focus on repair and maintenance (locks, slides, casters, and drawer alignment).

On a Craftsman tool chest like model 706653480, the model number is typically on a product ID label inside the cabinet, most often on a drawer side wall or inside the top drawers. We also commonly see it on the back panel near the upper corners.

Most common places to check

Look for a sticker or metal tag that includes the model number (often printed as a longer number, sometimes with additional letters).

• Inside the top right drawer (side wall or back wall)
• Inside the top drawer area under the lid (if your chest has a top compartment)
• On the inside cabinet frame behind the drawers (remove a drawer to look)
• On the back panel near the top edge
• On the side panel near the bottom rear corner

Don’t confuse the lock code with the model number

Many Craftsman chests have a 4-digit code stamped on the lock face. That code usually identifies the key/lock series, not the tool chest model number.

What you found	What it usually means	What to do next
4-digit number on the lock	Key/lock code	Use it only for key matching
Sticker/tag inside cabinet	Tool chest model number	Use it to look up parts and diagrams

Quick tips to find it faster

• Pull the top drawers out and use a flashlight to scan the drawer side walls.
• If drawers are full, remove one drawer and check the cabinet rails and inner frame.
• Wipe dusty areas with a dry rag; labels are often covered by shop dust.

Why it matters

Using the exact model number (for example, 706653480) helps us match the correct drawer slides, locks, casters, and other tool storage parts for your Craftsman tool chest.
