Tool Drawers failure
This is what happens to unbalanced, over loaded tool drawer cabinets. The orange one fell towards the lathe when I opened the drawers. Apart from the tools, there were pen parts spread all over.

Looks like those drawers don't have the safety features of the 4 drawer filing cabinets.

How many tools met the concrete?

Oh boy, not good! Neither the tools hitting the deck or having to find everything afterwards.
Reminds me of when I was doing an auto-electrical apprenticeship. I was driving the van one day and being a bit too 'spirited' around some twisty roads out the back of nowhere. Well I hit a bump around a bend and everything in the back went flying all throughout the van. I then spent the next 2 hours on the side of the road finding and sorting out what seemed like thousands of spade connectors, globes, odds and ends etc, and all sorts of bits n pieces. When I got back to work hours later I think I told the boss I helped some old lady who had a car accident, cause that's the sort of nice guy I am. Moral of the story, Toyota Hiace's handle like a dog on lino.

For users of these sorts of cabinets it may pay to put your spare key in a safe place & not inside a cabinet drawer.
At the Proserpine Turnout one of the turners had an inconvenient experience. Somehow the drawers managed to self lock themselves & yes the keys were in a drawer. A quick break & enter job & he was back in business, but the drawers needed a bit of panel beating afterwards.Mobyturns

This reminds me of a movie or TV show that I once saw(can not recall the name). The answer to almost every question was it's in the top draw.

Is that the safety boot under the chisels that you were wearing at the time?

For many of the reasons already posted I shy away from tool drawers, view them more as a curse than a help.
