New Toyo toolbox colours...

Love our Toyo toolboxes but not sure which colour to go for? Well we’ve just made the decision all that more tricky, with three more colour options added.

On top of all the red, blue, silver, black, khaki and green Toyos we have in stock (in all the different sizes), we’ve now got:

• Orange - surprisingly new – feels like they’ve had it before, but they haven’t, we’d know as we are big fans of anything orange.
• Mustard - sounds odd as a colour for a toolbox, but trust us, this is surprisingly nice.
• And what Edd is calling Battleship Duck Blue – which does work as a descriptor as it’s a greyer, moodier version of duck egg blue.

The great thing about Toyo toolboxes is that they just keep bringing out new colours that are, frankly, great. Just when you think you may have enough variants, another colour arrives that becomes a bit of a must-have. So we have to find new things to store in them, aside from tools. Currently we’re using them for seeds as well as gardening tools, we’ve got them housing maintenance kits (from sharpening to shoe shine) and sewing kits and the endless supply of buttons and crafty things, as well as having a number in use for pens and art kit.  We may, or may not, be finding more uses for these Japanese tool boxes so that we can justify having the various new colours…

That aside, we are safe in the knowledge that they are a beautiful functional design that’s built to last, so they are a great investment, rather than just a colour-based fad.
