Rank #4 in Best Tool Chests 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Load Limits Disagree
COSTWAY 2-in-1 Detachable Tool Cabinet, 5 Drawers, Yellow
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The COSTWAY Large Rolling Tool Cabinet is a two-piece steel storage unit in yellow: a detachable upper chest with four drawers and a top compartment, sitting on a bottom cabinet with one further drawer and a hanging board. Amazon lists it at £109.95, rated 4.2 from 181 reviews, and ranked 8th in its Tool Cabinets category. It places fourth in this guide, and it is the cheapest thing on the list. The listing gives its size as 59 x 28 x 102 cm and its own weight as 17 kg, so it is a tall, narrow cabinet built to stand against a wall rather than a wide bench unit.
The finding on this one is an absence. The rest of the guide is a lesson in how little a quoted load limit means: 450 kg, 150 kg, 60 kg and 27 kg, all measured on different bases for cabinets of similar size. The COSTWAY listing avoids the problem by not quoting one at all — there is no weight limit for any drawer, for the single shelf or for the cabinet as a whole. What it does quote is consistent: five drawers as listed, which is four in the upper chest plus one in the bottom cabinet, and one shelf that adjusts through three levels. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Husband is really impressed with the quality, went together easily with everything lining up. Excellent value for money”
Verified purchase“For the price this an excellent addition to my tool shed, it is sturdy enough and I like the way the cupboard and top chest can be locked. It was easy to put together and the weight wasn't too much hassle. The versatility of the inner cupboard shelf is a great addition to allow different power tools to fit inside. It is more than fit for purpose. Now starts the ideas of what tools to put where.”

Questions people ask
Does the COSTWAY 88653LT listing quote a load limit?

How many drawers does the 5 Drawer with Adjustable Shelf version have?
Five, which matches the 'Number of Drawers' figure of 5 in the listing: four in the detachable upper chest plus the top compartment, and one in the bottom cabinet.
Can the upper chest be taken off the bottom cabinet?
Yes. COSTWAY describes a 2-in-1 detachable design in which the upper chest lifts off and can be stored inside the bottom cabinet to save space.

The listed contents are 1 x bottom cabinet, 1 x upper chest, 1 x instruction and 4 x hooks.
