When it came to selecting a classic toolbox for The List, there was only ever one brand in the running. Japanese brand Toyo have been making tool boxes since 1969 and after 50+ years, they know a thing or two about tidying away tools. Their engineering expertise has won them both Good Design and Long Life Design awards and ensures that 70% of all toolboxes sold in Japan today bear the Toyo name. Amazingly, they're crafted from a single sheet of steel, which means no seams, sharp edges or rusted joints. They're practically indestructible and with a little care, they'll last decades.

These Y-350s are slightly more compact than their ST-350 cousins, but offer a similar amount of space for organising tools, brushes, pencils or trowels, making them a safe, secure companion for craftsmen, artists, gardners and DIY enthusiasts alike. But as any Toyo owner will tell you, what sets these toolboxes apart is their sleek, stylish design, evoking a classic, retro aesthetic previous generations would be proud of. If you want to give them something handsome and practical that they actually use, the Y-350 may be just the thing.
