Looking for a small toolbox worthy of the name and you’ll quickly come across it: the COBAKO by TOYO STEEL, a mini stamped steel case that stores glasses as well as screwdrivers. Proof that pocket-sized can be stylish.
À découvrir
Small box, true craftsmanship
The COBAKO series follows exactly the recipe of the larger ones: a pressed steel sheet without welding, rounded corners, a precise clasp, and the TOYO embossing on the lid. Four lengths, from the Y12 at 12 cm to the Y20 at 20 cm, with the Y17 in the medium size.
Storage that shows itself
A watch, glasses, office pens, small screws, loose cables: the COBAKO gives a home to the objects we lose. It sits on the shelf rather than hidden away, and that’s exactly why we love it. All sizes and colors are in the TOYO STEEL toolbox collection.
Four sizes down to the millimeter
The series comes in four lengths designed like nesting dolls: the Y12 at 12 centimeters for a watch or bits, the Y14 for cards and small supplies, the Y17 at 17 centimeters that fits glasses or a pen case, and the Y20 which approaches the size of a classic pencil case. All feature the same seamless stamped steel and precise clasp as the larger ones.
On a desk, the COBAKO acts as a lidded catchall: keys, earphones, bag medications, everything loose finds its place and disappears neatly. It’s also a nice gift to slip into a package, the small Japanese box that no one already owns.
