TLDR Review: GEARWRENCH 3 Drawer Tool Box

The latches on the GEARWRENCH 83151 Tool Box are generally solid, but opinions on their durability do vary a bit. According to the manufacturer's product description, the tool box comes with a keyed center lock to boost security, which is great if you're keeping valuable tools or using it in a less secure spot. This lock is meant to give you some peace of mind about your tools staying put when you're not looking.

That said, our research turned up mixed feelings about how long-lasting and reliable the lock is. Some folks rave about it, noting its good build quality and effectiveness. For example, one person said, 'Nice quality craftsmanship, with a nice key lock design. Just what I was looking for.'

But, not everyone had a smooth experience. There were mentions of the lock jamming and trouble with removing the key. One comment noted, 'The lock for the drawers jams quite frequently,' and another said, 'The key can't be removed from the lock while in the locked position.'

So, in short, while the latches and locks on this toolbox are meant to keep your tools secure and many users are happy with their durability, there are a few issues that have come up. If security is your main concern, this toolbox should do the job, but be aware that not everyone has had a perfect experience with the lock.

The lock on the GEARWRENCH 83151 tool box does the job pretty well.

Our research indicates that folks generally find it reliable, without too many complaints about it failing or being flimsy.

So, if you're looking for a tool box with a dependable lock, this one seems like it's up to the task.

Yeah, the GEARWRENCH 83151 Tool Box does come with ball-bearing drawer slides. According to the manufacturer's product description, it has three of these drawers, and they slide really smoothly.

Each drawer is 2 inches high, which gives you decent space for your tools. Plus, there's a top section that's about 2.5 inches high for extra storage.

Just a heads up though, it doesn't come with built-in trays in the drawers. Some folks have mentioned that getting additional tray organizers is a good idea if you want to keep your tools from rolling around.

So, if staying organized is your thing, you might want to grab some extra trays.
