Organise Your Workshop with the Clarke CBB217C HD Plus Tool Cabinet

A good home mechanic is nothing without their tools, and tools are no good at all if they’re damaged or lost in a whirlwind of garage clutter. Somewhere ordered, safe and secure to store them, then, is a non-negotiable, and we think Clarke offers one of the best solutions with their CBB217C HD Plus Tool Cabinet.

Each of the seven drawers features full-width aluminium pull handles for easy access, and once you pull them, you’re greeted with a super satisfying, smooth pull action thanks to heavy-duty ball bearing sliders.

Clarke has thought about the safety of your tools once they’re stashed away, too. Each drawer includes a removable anti-slip lining, while a simple soft-lock feature is activated by pushing the drawer once it’s closed, preventing it from opening if the cabinet is accidentally tilted. Reassuringly, there is a full single-key locking system (complete with spare key), and the heavy-gauge double-wall steel construction further enhances security.

When it comes to moving the chest around, the four high-quality swivel castors and large handle make life easy, while the wheels can be locked off to ensure it doesn’t move once in place. On the subject of wheels, they feature a nifty chrome-spoked design that puts us somewhat in mind of the curved-spoke rims that came on the 5th generation Honda Prelude. But maybe that’s just us.

Rounding out the features, a cushioned non-slip surface on the top of the unit can serve as both a workspace and a base for further storage units when the time comes to expand your setup. For instance, the top image features the optional SL41C Side Locker, a set of MPT4B Magnetic Tool Trays and the CBB210C 10-Drawer Tool Chest.  For the typical home mechanic, though, we think the CBB217C has you covered for pretty much all the tools you’ll regularly need – and a little more besides.
