Product Description

The Edsal WC1 tool cabinet is a steel cabinet with a tool rack and parts trays built into the doors, and pegboard in the center for the storage of tools, hardware, and supplies. The cabinet has hinged doors and a magnetic catch to keep the doors closed. The door hasps accommodate most standard padlocks. The cabinet can be mounted to a wall or placed on a bench and it includes twelve pegboard hooks. It has an industrial gray powder coat finish to resist chipping and corrosion. The assembled cabinet measures 24 x 30 x 11 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) When both doors are open, this unit is 30 inches wide. This cabinet ships assembled, but hasp assembly is required. Instructions for hasp assembly are included, assembly tools are sold separately.

Cabinets are commonly used to store items to help create organized, efficient, and safe work areas. These systems typically consist of a frame with three walls that support adjustable or fixed-position shelves, one or two doors and handles. Added components may include locks for applications that require security and casters or wheels for applications that require mobility. Cabinets are used in a variety of office, industrial, educational, and residential settings.

Edsal Manufacturing Company manufactures storage systems and industrial furniture. The company, founded in 1952, is headquartered in Chicago, IL.

Edsal WC1 Industrial Gray Steel Tool Cabinet/Work Center, 24" Height x 30" Width x 11" Depth Review

I purchased two of these based on the seller's description. I've unboxed and mounted one. This is not a good product. If I had seen these in a store I would not have purchased them.

1. The steel looks nice but is very thin and flimsy. I measured less than .03 inches in thickness, perhaps 22 or 23 gauge? This makes the entire cabinet flexible causing it to buckle when mounted. The doors are easily warped and will then not close properly. They can, however, be warped back into shape with very little force since the steel is so thin.

2. The hinges are horrible. They are pins which are evidently not sized or perhaps not installed properly. When assembled at the factory someone took a grinder to the hinge pins to make them small enough to fit into the mating part. Besides resulting in very rough, misshapen hinge pins, the grinding is sloppy and some of the cabinet is ground away. It will probably rust. The hinges are also not mounted in proper alignment causing one door to bind, preventing it from opening all the way.

3. The steel is so flimsy the pegboard back buckled easily when mounted preventing the included pegboard hooks from entering the holes without forcing shims behind the cabinet.

4. The included pegboard hooks are not the proper size for the holes and are a very sloppy fit. They would be quite annoying and difficult to use effectively for tools. The holes are not sized to fit standard pegboard hardware so I am stuck with a practically useless pegboard.

5. The included screws for mounting the front hardware were too big to fit in the holes. I had to enlarge the holes with a drill bit.

6. The cabinet is so flimsy I cannot imagine putting anything heavy on the shelves in the doors. I had hoped to use it for miscellaneous supplies for my welding room but I don't think it will hold up.

To salvage what I can, I will have to modify these cabinets extensively, perhaps by grinding off and welding on new hinges and definitely by modifying the primary tool-hanging space inside the cabinet. I plan on fitting sections of plywood over the flimsy pegboard inside the cabinet. I will add shelves or mount tools on screws or hooks fastened to the plywood. Perhaps I will even cut out the back and replace it entirely with plywood - that would probably make the entire cabinet stronger. I may try to reinforce the doors by welding on reinforcement. It probably would have been easier to just build a cabinet with sheet steel from scratch.

I recommend not buying this cabinet for anything but very light and occasional use and even then only if much cheaper. And lucky me, I have another unopened in the box!
