STORY

The average toolbox is for those who are handy; the Gerstner 1600 Tote Case is for those who are serious about their craft. Whether it contains the precision instruments of an accomplished artisan or a toolkit for the capable homeowner, this case embodies the statement “Anything worth doing is worth doing right.” Handcrafted by Gerstner & Sons in Dayton, Ohio, the Tote Case is built of American cherry with nickel hardware and a stitched leather carry handle. A lift-out tray keeps the interior organized, while felt lining protects both the tools and the case. When carried by a professional, the case commands immediate respect on the jobsite. Kept around the workshop, it designates where the essential kit is stored. Either way, the Gerstner Tote Case is not the toolbox to stash away under the kitchen sink, but demands to be presented as a paragon of utility.

 

History: H. Gerstner & Sons was founded in Dayton, Ohio, by Harry Gerstner in 1906. Gerstner is now a 4th-generation family-owned business known throughout the country for heirloom-quality handcrafted tool chests. It’s acknowledged that those who keep their tools in a Gerstner Tool Chest are a cut above the rest. Harry Gerstner’s basic principle still applies to every tool chest built – “A place for everything and everything in its place.”
