Tool Storage: Heated Compartments for Cold Weather

The Thermosteel tool chest features heated storage compartments that can be kept heated in cold weather. The cabinets can maintain a 70° F temperature in zero-degree ambient temperature and keep tools, safety equipment and building materials warm in temperatures as low as -40° F. In addition to the heated compartments, the Thermosteel also features fully insulated tool drawers. A raised floor in the storage chest makes it easier to find items at the bottom of the chest.
