Tool Crate

What's in the box: Each quarterly crate holds a curated selection of tools, personal protective equipment and apparel, often from well known brands.

Tool Crate is a quarterly subscription box for contractors, DIY homeowners and anyone who simply enjoys good tools. Four times a year you get a curated mix of tools, personal protective equipment and apparel. The company says it works with major brands, industry experts and its own community to choose products that are well reviewed and backed by established names. The site also says the business is made in Canada. Woodworkers should know this is a general tool box, not a dedicated woodworking kit. Some items may suit the shop, but the picks lean toward the trades and home improvement in general, so don't count on specialty gear like chisels, hand planes or joinery jigs each quarter. A useful feature is the archive of past crates on the site. It goes back several seasons, so you can judge the style and quality of the picks before you sign up. The quarterly schedule also means fewer deliveries and less clutter than a monthly box. The main page does not list pricing, shipping regions or cancellation terms, so check the FAQ and checkout pages before you subscribe. Overall, it is a solid choice for tool lovers who like surprises, but a less targeted one for serious furniture makers.
