The Viral Mini Toolbox That Can Optimize Organization In Any Room

If organizing your entire home is at the top of your to-do list, getting there probably feels like a lot of work. But the answer just might come in the most unlikely of packages. We can thank TikTok for giving us so many viral products over the years, but the Kobalt Mini Toolbox sold at Lowe's is one of our favorites. It's just as pretty as it is functional and comes in colors that aren't the traditional ones we're used to seeing. The mini toolbox comes in hot pink, baby pink, pink camo, lime green, and lavender, to name a few. The best part is that it's pretty inexpensive but looks anything but cheap!

This isn't the first time TikTok has obsessed over a Kobalt product, like their electric lawn mower. And you're probably quite familiar with the Kobalt tools that have earned a spot in your garage. As a product made by one of Lowe's house brands, the Kobalt mini toolbox might have been quietly flying under the radar since it was introduced. However, once Lowe's teamed up with the brand and made the multifunctional organizational tool available in nontraditional hues, people took notice. These pint-sized toolboxes are the perfect companion for holding anything, from small tools to cosmetic accessories. There are both three-drawer and two-drawer options available. Though this mini toolbox is little, it's proven itself to be quite the organization game-changer.

The viral Kobalt Mini Toolbox

Whether you're a crafter or a makeup artist, Kobalt's nifty organizer can bring calm to your chaotic stash. There are so many good reasons why the Kobalt mini toolbox has gone viral, namely the pretty colors it's available in. This storage solution isn't just for typical tools. It works as any kind of organizer for those smaller things that tend to get lost, like garage supplies, crafting supplies, knitting tools, and lots more. Each drawer in this organizer can hold up to 5 pounds. It's also compatible with other Kobalt modular products if you're looking for more storage. One of the neat things about any size toolbox is that, later on down the line, you always can decide to repurpose it into something that helps clear countertop clutter.

The two-drawer option clocks in at under 6 inches tall and under 11 inches wide. Its tiny construction makes it look adorable when sitting on a countertop or shelf. It has a durable powder coat finish and a magnetic drawer locking mechanism so they don't fall out as you carry it around. Since the mini toolbox doesn't come with a liner to keep things from rolling around, you should probably consider making a foam liner or using a drawer liner inside. If you want to buy one (or two) of these organizers, you better hurry because the pretty, vibrant hues go in and out of stock. 

How to use the Kobalt Mini Toolbox for organization

This small but mighty toolbox is perfect for DIYers, professionals, and anyone who needs a compact and versatile way to organize any items. Because it punches above its weight in terms of functionality, there are so many clever ways to put this tiny toolbox to use. You can also find custom-made accessories to go with your toolbox, like hinges for keeping the top lid open (because it doesn't stay open on its own).

You can turn the Kobalt mini toolbox into a portable first aid kit for your home, filled with essentials like bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, tweezers and scissors, and pain relief, letting you quickly grab and go for unexpected emergencies. Its compact size lets you keep it in your car or under the sink. If you add a magnet to your favorite photos and place them on top of or under the lid, you can transform the toolbox into a memory box. Or, you could line the drawers with jewelry, hair ties, or other accessories. For crafters, the mini toolbox can hold your supplies in a tidy package. Find some compatible compartments to fit inside for holding beads, needles and thread, scissors, glue sticks, and anything else that fits. If you're makeup-obsessed, turn the toolbox into a makeup organizer or false eyelash holder. Pop on a couple of LED lights and a small mirror to the underneath part of the lid and you'll have everything you need to put on your face pretty much anywhere.
