Niwaki Tool Boxes

Available in three sizes, these fine receptacles for stuff are smart enough to keep around the home – after all, it’s not just tools that need stashing – but tough enough to keep handy and with you at all times or use non-stop in a workshop.

The Niwaki toolbox T-Type is pencil case sized and will make a fine addition to your desk, shed or workshop to store those small special things that you don't want to loose. Just think of the things you could store securely and stylishly in one of these! I’ve packed mine with 10 rolls of 35mm film, but asking around at Niwaki HQ there are plans afoot to store craft supplies, garden twine, sewing bits and pieces, dominos and, most mysteriously, “personal stuff”.

The Niwaki toolbox Y-Type. Really good for lots of (longer) stuff. You could, if you felt like it, store a few spanners in here, along with a hammer or two, some chisels and an oily rag, but with its smooth ergonomics, lockable clasp-catch and hip-style roof (or is it a sawn-off Mansard?) for added standing room, the Niwaki Y-Type Tool Box is crying out for less prosaic contents.
