Kobalt tool chest stereo

And if you need a little musical accompaniment for your accomplishments, the Kobalt chest will oblige in that department as well. The top of the chest flips away to reveal a stereo speaker system from Pioneer, complete with a head unit hiding behind a little stainless steel door near the top.

There is some assembly required — namely, the immense 5-inch casters which have to be bolted onto the bottom of the 6-Drawer Tool Cabinet. I love these casters. Additionally, the two front casters lock both in terms of their ability to roll, and in their ability to rotate. This gives you a completely secure lock and so you can park and forget the tool cabinet without worry of it drifting around on you.

Once we had the casters in place, we flipped the Tool Cabinet upright and rolled it into lace, preparing to life the Tool Chest atop and nestle it into position as well.

Once everything was assembled it was a great time to take a general look at everything and get our bearings. First off, the entire cabinet is made of double-walled steel and is incredibly strong. The integrated 4-outlet power supply is located on the right side of the cabinet and is very useful for plugging in power tools and devices that will fall under amps of draw. The drawer slides seemed robust, with ball bearing mechanisms that allowed for a relatively easy pull.

Each drawer is rated to 99 lbs. On each side of the lower and upper cabinets is a recessed sure grip handle for when you need to grab and maneuver the tool chest around. The Kobalt Blue powder coat finish was nice and the only thing that disturbed it was the profuse amount of stickers that Kobalt placed all over the cabinet. We attempted to peel a few back and ended up making a real mess of things.

It may cost them a few cents more, but it will allow users to get rid of the marketing stickers without destroying the look of their tool chest. Aside from that, we love that Kobalt continues to include, and pre-install, their customized drawer liners that perfectly fit the tool box and chest and protect it against damage and leaks, as well as give your tools a nice grippy surface on which to lie.

Our favorite part of the review came when it was time to crank up the tunes. Having a great Kobalt Steel Tool Chest with Pioneer Stereo System is one thing, but being able to safely store and organize your tools while listening to jamming tunes is a whole other deal. The stereo speakers are housed in the top of the tool chest, while the head unit, a Pioneer stereo with detachable face, is located behind the right-most top drawer.

Queuing up some of our favorite tunes, we experimented with the different EQ modes available on the Pioneer head unit. Overall, the sound was pretty good unless we turned it way up. Get yourself into the store however and you can track it down.
