Why do shoppers love it?

This 298-piece tool set and rolling tool chest has everything you need to tackle the toughest projects in your garage, at your workshop, or out on the job site. It comes with a set of three 72-tooth ratchets, 166 sockets, 23 wrenches, five drive tools, six extensions, and 95 other assorted tools.

To keep all of this safe and organized, you also get an all-metal, 41-inch-tall, 30.9-inch-wide rolling tool cabinet that sits on four swivel casters. It features four 22-inch-deep sliding drawers, with plenty of space for just about any kind of tool you can think of, and the entire utility cart can support up to 700 pounds of weight. So if you ever wanted to get serious about your tool game and start tackling some do-it-yourself home improvement projects, this is the perfect investment to help you get started and do the job right.

Compared to other tool sets on the market, this is an absolute steal. Some name-brand storage carts of this caliber can cost upwards of $600 alone, and that doesn't even include all of the tools as this one does. When you break down the price for the Craftsman set, you're essentially paying less than $2 per tool.

Reviewers love the size and features of this handy Craftsman tool chest, which is perfect for storing all the tools you need for a given project and can be had at a pretty attractive price point. It's got plenty of interior space, it's reportedly a breeze to put together, and shoppers rave about the build quality.

"This toolbox is very well made, with heavy wheels, and I'd definitely recommend it," said one reviewer. "I like the built-in power strip mounted on the side of the box, and the drawers all open and close very smoothly. The drawers are also pretty deep, so they can hold most tools, and the whole cabinet fits well in my garage. The top lid is durable enough that you can use it as a mild workbench."
