How the points were given
Each chest is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on the How We Pick page. No listing states a UL, ETL or CSA listing, so every pick scores zero on safety, and only the WEN listing states a clear warranty term.
| Product | Shop Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WEN GG421T | 9.5 | 30 | 22 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
| LARBANKE 4-Drawer Chest | 9.4 | 27 | 20 | 20 | 0 | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score.
What the listings tell you
Five listings were compared. Three give full drawer, size and construction detail, and two give a title only. No listing states a vise, a vise mounting plate or a vise capacity, so vise fit must be checked separately from storage. One listing states a warranty term, and none states a safety certification.
Best Tool Chest with Vise: Buying Guide
Drawer layout and size
Drawer count alone does not settle storage: drawer height decides what fits. The WEN chest gives four lockable drawers with 100-pound capacity, the Goplus cabinet gives five drawers plus two trays, and the LARBANKE chest gives four drawers with the first three at 1.37 in. tall and the fourth at 3.1 in. tall. Measure the tallest tools first, then match them to the drawer heights and to the stated chest size.
Rolling or portable
A rolling cabinet suits a garage where the work moves between bays, while a countertop chest suits a fixed bench. The Goplus cabinet rolls on four universal wheels, two with brakes, and locks with a locking bar. The LARBANKE chest is a portable countertop chest with a handle. The WEN chest states side carrying handles and no wheels, so plan to place it and leave it.
Locking and liners
Locking keeps drawers shut in transit and tools put away between jobs. The WEN drawers lock and the chest includes PVC drawer liners and a set of keys. The LARBANKE locking system uses one key across same-series chests, with pearl cotton padding inside the drawers. The Goplus cabinet uses a locking bar plus EVA padding inside the drawers.
Vise fit, stated plainly
None of the five listings states that a vise is included, and none states a mounting plate or a vise capacity. Treat these picks as storage, choose a vise as a separate piece, and confirm mounting on the bench or cabinet before buying. For vise choice itself, see the heavy duty vs standard bench vise comparison.
Power at the bench
Only the WEN listing states onboard power: an 8-outlet charging station with six 120V household outlets and two USB outlets. That suits a bench where drivers, lights and chargers share one spot. The other listings state no charging station, so power stays a bench question, not a chest feature.
Garage Fit Check
- Space: check bench and floor space against the stated sizes, including the WEN width of 42 in. and the Goplus cabinet height of 40 in.
- Drawer fit: check drawer heights against the tallest tools, including the LARBANKE first drawers at 1.37 in. and the fourth drawer at 3.1 in.
- Power: check outlet access for the WEN charging station, with six 120V outlets and two USB outlets.
- Locking and rolling: check the lock, the locking bar and the braked wheels on the rolling cabinet before the first job.
Use rated jack stands on solid ground, wear eye protection with power and air tools, keep fuel-burning equipment out of a closed garage, and follow the manual for every tool. Read our Safety Disclaimer.
FAQ: garage tools
Does any pick here include a vise?
No. None of the five listings states a vise is included, a mounting plate, or a vise capacity. Treat these picks as storage and choose a vise separately.
Which chest suits a small garage?
The LARBANKE countertop chest suits a bench spot, at 24.6 in. wide, 13.0 in. deep and 12.48 in. tall, while the Goplus cabinet needs floor space at 23.5 in. by 11 in. by 40 in. tall and the WEN chest needs a 42-inch wide space.
What charging does the WEN chest offer?
An 8-outlet onboard charging station with six 120V household outlets and two USB outlets, plus dual gas lid struts and a tall-till lid storage area.
Can the Goplus cabinet split into two pieces?
Yes. The listing states the cabinet detaches into a top box and a rolling tool chest, which can be used separately or together, and the top box can be stored in the lower chest when not in use.
What should be checked before the first job?
Dimensions, drawer heights, the lock, the wheels and brakes on the rolling cabinet, and the warranty term. Only the WEN listing states a clear warranty term, a two-year warranty.
