Do the drawers lock?

The casters lock to secure the cart in place, but drawer-specific locking is not confirmed. Test-fit your most valuable tools on the shelf and in drawers to determine if you need an additional latch or cabinet lock.

Can I use the wood top for cutting or grinding?

The top is built for hand tools and assembly work. Avoid heavy impact, grinding sparks, or sustained heat — treat it as a work platform, not a work bench for power tools.

Is assembly required?

Assembly is required. The cart ships in parts — plan time to bolt the frame, attach drawers, secure the top, and install casters. Basic hand tools are all you need.
