replacement drawers for Kobalt chests

[scottmlew]

I'd like to replace some of the deeper drawers in my Kobalt chest with multiple shallow drawers. At quick glance, this appears to be possible, but I need to find the drawers for sale.

Can anyone confirm if this is possible, and if so, where to buy the drawers?

On a related note -- I'm looking for an intermediate chest for the previous generation (black) chests -- any pointers where I might find one?

Surely someone has some insight...

the older boxes were made by Waterloo newer boxes are imported across the pond as far as I know.

I think I would contact Kobalt/Lowe's Customer service and see if they can help you; this link below takes you to Lowe's contact info, so I guess Kobalt doesn't have a unique phone number or service info: https://www.kobalttools.com/
Click on "contact us" right hand bottom link! Good luck!
If they can't help; you might need to investigate and found out who the OEM for your box is; you might look for patent numbers, UL cert number (Underwriters Laboratories certification #) and look them up to find out who the OEM is! The good OEMs (e.g. Waterloo) will help you and sell you replacement parts but YMMV! Good luck!

Billy, thanks so much...that sounds like a good strategy. I'll start investigating this week.

If anyone has a source for the drawers that they can point out, or wants to sell their own, LMK!

I did that with my HF box, ordered shallow drawers to replace the deeper ones...
