TL;DR An 8-drawer 52-inch rolling cabinet with 100–150 lb soft-close ball-bearing slides — community confirms smooth under load — but the T00–T04 keyed-alike lock (5 cuts across the entire DEWALT line) is a real limitation.
What it is and how it performs
Rolling bottom cabinet only — 8 drawers, 52 inches wide, US-assembled in Sedalia, MO. Steel is 18/20 gauge per brand spec; no community gauge measurement found (launched September 2023). Shallow drawers rate 100 lbs per slide; deeper drawers 150 lbs — full-extension soft-close ball-bearing on both, confirmed smooth and quiet by reviewers. Single keyed cylinder locks all drawers; DEWALT's T00–T04 system uses only 5 distinct cuts across the entire product line — effectively keyed-alike. Four swivel locking casters, 6×2 in, 2,000 lb rated. Community capacity data unavailable for this model.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Right pick for a home garage owner building a DEWALT Workshop Storage System and prioritizing slide quality over lock security. Skip if a shared shop requires real security — the T00–T04 system means another DEWALT owner with the same key code can open it. Also skip if Milwaukee-tier build quality at this price is the expectation: community reviewers describe the steel as lighter than expected.
Safety and environmental impact
No chemical exposure pathway — passive steel storage. Steel body recyclable through scrap metal collection; no take-back program. Tools and chemicals stored inside carry their own hazard profiles.

Top notch tool chest.
Needed to upgrade from my 2o year old Craftsman tool chest and this DeWalt unit fit the bill. Typical great quality from DeWalt and the slides on the drawers are very nice. They handle the weight easily, close quietly and I appreciated the tool bars for the sides. I ended up buying the 4 battery holders as well. The unit rolls easily and looks great in my garage!
