Ferrari of Tool Chests

Kobalt Integrates LEDs, Music, Fridge

Until today, working under the hood of your car was kind of a monotonous task. To spice it up, one may bring the boom box for some tunes, a cooler for some brews and of course the tools. But carrying all that and putting it away after you're done souping up your monster is always a hassle.

So our friends at Kobalt gave us the answer: a 53-inch tool chest with a Pioneer sound system and integrated fridge.

What else would a man want?!?! (Maybe an integrated TV would be nice, but this is OK for now.)

Get ready to slap on an "In Your Face" grin for that pesky neighbor when he check out your Ferrari of tool chests!
