Disclosed herein is a unique tool chest which combines the convenience of pegboard display with the mobility and security of a locking tool chest. A slideably disposed pegboard is contained within the tool chest and mounted on rails. A winch with a cable is located on the exterior of the tool chest and works in conjunction with the pegboard so that when the top lid of the tool chest is opened and the winch is cranked, the pegboard will extend upwardly out of the top of the tool chest and lock in the desired position. Thus easy access is provided to the tools hung upon pegs on either side of the pegboard. Doors located on the front and the rear of the tool chest allow access from either side. The entire tool chest sits upon a foundation piece provided with casters for easy mobility.
