Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM E2-0007 takes first place in this guide on the strength of its rating rather than its spec sheet: 4.4 out of 5 from 353 ratings at £107.99. It is a two-piece unit — an upper tool chest and a lower roller cabinet that HOMCOM says you can use separately or together — with 6 smooth-glide drawers, one large bottom cabinet, a drawer lock on the upper chest, padded drawer linings and four wheels. It measures 108cm high, 61.6cm long and 33cm deep, in red and black, and the listing states plainly that assembly is required.
The number to look at here is the load figure. HOMCOM quotes a 60kg maximum load, and that sits between the other limits in this guide: 450kg total on the £449 Scheppach, 150kg total (15kg per drawer) on the DURHAND, and 27kg of "maximum weight" on the US PRO 7-drawer. It is also measured differently again — a single 60kg covering a chest and a cabinet together — so compare it only with another total, never with a per-drawer figure. The second number worth checking is one the description never mentions: the spec table lists "Number of Shelves: 4", while the bullets describe 6 drawers and 1 large bottom cabinet and refer to no shelves at all. That is the same pattern the blue US PRO shows when it claims 7 shelves in a cabinet made only of drawers.

Questions people ask
What is the maximum load of this HOMCOM tool chest?
The listing states a maximum load of 60kg. That is a figure for the whole unit, which arrives as two pieces — the upper chest and the roller cabinet — so it is not measured in the same way as the DURHAND's 15kg per drawer.
How many drawers does it have?
HOMCOM lists 6 smooth-glide drawers plus 1 large bottom cabinet. The spec table separately claims 4 shelves, although the description itself never mentions shelves.
Does it need assembling?
Yes. The listing ends with "ASSEMBLY REQUIRED". It comes as two separate pieces, an upper chest and a cabinet.
Can the two pieces be used apart from each other?
Yes. HOMCOM calls it a duo design: the tool chest and cabinet come in two pieces so you can use them separately or together, in a garage, workshop or similar space.
Is it lockable, and can it be moved?
The upper chest has a drawer lock to keep your belongings safe, and the special features field lists "Lockable, Wheeled". The unit stands on four wheels for moving around the floor.
How big is it?
108cm high, 61.6cm long and 33cm deep. Fitting the whole unit into a space needs that 61.6cm width as well as the 108cm height.
