Craftsman’s Expansion into Metal Tool Storage
Craftsman, a leading name in the industry and part of the Stanley Black & Decker family, recently announced the latest addition to its premium V-Series line: metal tool storage solutions. The new products are specifically designed for professionals who demand high-quality, reliable tool storage solutions. The V-Series metal storage range includes a versatile mobile workstation, practical rolling tool chests, and functional cabinet combinations.
This expansion underlines Craftsman’s commitment to meeting the varying needs of its customer base. According to Eric Bernstein, VP of Product Management, Hand Tools & Storage at Stanley Black & Decker, the addition of metal storage to the V-Series line reflects users’ commitment to craftsmanship. Tool storage, in his view, is more than a necessity; it is a testament to the quality and performance that professionals demand.
The Evolution of the V-Series
Since its introduction in November 2021, the V-Series has set new standards in tool quality and durability. The range initially launched with a selection of professional-grade hand tools, including ratchets, wrenches, socket sets, screwdrivers, and more. Each item in the collection is backed by Craftsman’s full lifetime warranty, showcasing the brand’s confidence in the series.
Throughout this year, Craftsman will be expanding the V-Series offerings to include the newly announced metal storage units. The first release is the 63-In. Wide 11-Drawer Mobile Workstation, which is now available for purchase both online and in stores. Soon to follow are the 41-In. and 52-In. rolling tool chests and cabinet combinations, which are slated for release this Fall.
A Closer Look at the V-Series 63-In. Wide 11-Drawer Mobile Workstation
At the heart of the new Craftsman V-Series metal storage collection is the 63-In. Wide 11-Drawer Mobile Workstation. This unit is designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding master mechanics. It’s built with heavy-gauge steel and industrial-quality casters, and has a load rating of up to 3,000 pounds. Additionally, the mobile workstation comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
The workstation is packed with features that enhance functionality and user experience. These include full-extension, soft-close, ball-bearing drawers that can support between 150-200 pounds, a full-grip tubular side handle for easy mobility, a large 2/3-In. thick butcher block workspace, and a six-outlet power strip with two USBs for charging devices. The workstation also features an internal tubular locking system to safeguard tools when not in use.
