On a hunt for something else, I wandered for the first time in my life into a pawn shop. After marveling over the displays of knifes, computers and dvds; after being greeted by the owner and sniffed by his very large dog; and after ascertaining that they did not have any of the item I desired, my eyes fell upon this.
In the movies clouds part so that a ray of pure white sunshine can settle upon the desired object, whether it be briefcase, holy grail or son of God. The heavens parted and surrounded that beautiful red box in a lovely glow. I heard angels singing.
I’ve looked at tool chests like this one before, so I knew how much the one in front of me would sell for new. This one was marked at a tiny fraction of the new price. I tested the drawers, hoping that the ball-bearing slides were still in working order. They were. I inquired about the existence of a key. There was none, but as the dog sniffed my hand his owner showed me how easily the locking mechanism could be slipped out of the box for the purpose of rekeying. I was sold.
Now I’m the proud owner of a shiny new-to-me tool box, which if I were smart I would use to store my actual tools, as they’re currently strung across three levels of the house in no apparent order. ‘Twould be lovely to be able to retrieve my favorite Allen wrench or Phillips-head screwdriver without having to search everywhere.
But I may give into the temptation to do something else with my new toolbox. I may haul it upstairs and install it prominently in my closet, where the smoothly sliding drawers with their grippy-cushioned lining would be perfect for my sexier tools. Can you imagine it? All of my sex toys lovingly categorized and stored away in such organized comfort…it would be wonderful.
Do you think the former owner ever dreamed that one day his tool chest would be home to a horny lady’s dildos?
Methinks I need one in the same way you need one!! And I’ve long coveted these kinds of storage bins, the way I do new bins for my beading supplies. They’re just fraught with possibility!
And it sure would go a long way in keeping the cat hair off the various things that I put in my nether bits…
I have a chest of drawers specifically for my toys and accessories. :) It works perfectly for this purpose. lol
peace…
oh. my. you have me so horny right now. you. toolbox. toys. woo-hoo!
Were money no object…
WANT!!!!!!! –aag
What a perfect solution. And so shiny red!
What a wonderful use for a toy box er tool box
I await the day when I have the financial security to build a large section of secret wall that swings outwards, where all my dildos will be strapped to modern-looking black and chrome shelving like guns in the matrix.
:)
I’m with ThatToyChick, the Matrix inspires so much good stuff, makes me all warm inside
Hey, necessity is the mother of invention, right ? hehe You could be starting something here!

Giggles…I will never look at one of those again without smiling.
That’s strange. I thought the same thing about a toolbox during a trip to my local DIY shop last weekend. I found myself visually measuring it up against all my fave toys, which currently live in an old biscuit tin by the bed – not very classy. Might have to write myself a list of dimensions and pop back down there, see if they have something suitable.
What a fabulous way to get your dildos off the top of the refrigerator!
THAT. IS. AWESOME!!
I will never, ever, be able to browse at the Home Depot without thinking about storing options for unmentionables! BRAVO!
@Rupert, no one would want to put one of those in the closet though!
I have a tool chest for my toys and a gun (rifle) case for all my whips and floggers, and am on a first name basis with the hardware department at my local home improvement store :-)
I am just finishing making a cherry wood steamer chest that will be prominently displayed in my bedroom as soon as it is finished. Good thing it has a lock…
I’ve always used a pink tool bag. Had never thought of a tool box. I like the bag because its portable and I can take my toys with me. But maybe I need a red tool box as an excuse to buy more tools, er, toys?
This post made me laugh as I pictured hijacking my father-in-law’s five foot tall super manly man tool chest to keep all my sex toys in! Haha, wouldn’t he be surprised when he went to get a screw…driver!
i fucking LOVE these things. so envious!
lucky you miss aag!
(i got a little cubby shelf and put it beside the bed… it’s working for now)
