Rank #5 in Best Tool Chests 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Load Limits Disagree
LARBANKE 5-Drawer Rolling Tool Chest, Blue, Lockable
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LARBANKE 5-drawer rolling tool chest is the fifth entry in this guide. It is a blue steel chest on castors, with a lock and two keys, priced at £164.99 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 154 ratings. Its contribution to the weight-limit comparison running through this guide is blunt: it does not publish a load figure at all. The other chests here quote 450 kg, 150 kg, 60 kg and 27 kg; this listing states only that the chest itself weighs 20.5 kg, and nothing about what the drawers or the top tray will hold.
Two fields inside the same listing disagree with each other. Number Of Shelves reads 4, on a chest whose storage is five drawers plus a moulded plastic tray on the top surface. Set Name reads "5-drawer and 7-drawer tool chest set", while Number of Items reads 1 and Size reads "5 Drawer Tool Chest" — the 7-drawer chest is a separate product in the same series that the four connecting rods let you link to this one. The rating count is the same story: the header says 154 ratings, and the star breakdown published beside it accounts for 100 (76 five-star, 14 four-star, 4 three-star, 1 two-star, 5 one-star). Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and the customer reviews shown on it, not from any testing we carried out.
How those 154 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

Questions people ask
Does the LARBANKE 5-drawer tool chest have a stated weight limit?
No. The listing gives the chest's own weight as 20.5 kg but never says how much the five drawers or the countertop tray can carry, so there is no figure here to set against the load ratings quoted for the other chests in this guide.
How many drawers and shelves does the LARBANKE chest have?
The bullets describe a 5-drawer configuration and the spec table lists Number of Drawers as 5, but that same table also lists Number Of Shelves as 4. The only non-drawer storage the listing describes is the integrated plastic tray on the top surface.
Will I receive both a 5-drawer and a 7-drawer chest?
No. The spec field Set Name reads "5-drawer and 7-drawer tool chest set", but Number of Items reads 1 and Size reads "5 Drawer Tool Chest". The listing describes the 7-drawer chest and the double-door cabinet as separate products in the same series that the four connecting rods let you link together.
Are the drawers lockable?
The listing says each LARBANKE rolling tool chest comes with a dedicated lock and two keys, and that the universal key design means one key can open and close all the chests you own from the same series.
How well does it move on its wheels?
The base has four 2.5-inch 360-degree swivel casters for steering, two of them fitted with brakes for one-touch locking, and the chest weighs 20.5 kg.
What are the dimensions?
62.5W x 33D x 72.9H centimetres, which the same listing also gives as 24.6W x 13.0D x 28.7H inches. The ground-to-item distance is listed as 2.5 inches.
