Draper Tool Chest, 8 Drawer, 26", Blue

Organise your tools efficiently without sacrificing valuable workshop space with the Draper TC8D 8-Drawer Tool Chest. A practical, no-nonsense storage solution finished in a bold blue powder coat with aluminium effect trim, the TC8D delivers solid build quality and smart drawer variety in a compact, workshop-friendly footprint.

Constructed from heavy-gauge sheet steel, the TC8D is made to last in demanding workshop and garage environments. All eight drawers run on precision ball bearing runners for smooth, consistent operation, and each is fitted with a protective foam liner to keep tools secure, cushioned, and free from unnecessary wear and rattling.

The drawer layout strikes a considered balance between compact storage and practical capacity. Six half-width shallow drawers keep smaller items — sockets, bits, and hand tools — neatly separated and easy to find at a glance. A single full-width shallow drawer provides space for longer tools like screwdrivers and pliers, while a full-width deeper drawer at the base accommodates bulkier items that need a little extra depth.

With an integral locking system and two keys included, your tools stay secure when the chest is unattended. Heavy-duty carry handles make it easy to move when needed. At just 307mm deep and 377mm high, the TC8D is one of the more compact chests in the Draper range — ideal for bench-top use, tighter garage setups, or as a tidy addition to a roller cabinet combination.
