The Coolbox is a toolbox that lives up to its name thanks to the array of fun and functional features and gizmos contained within it. For example, it has a magnetic lid that helps keep your [nuts and screws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/configurable-storage-system) in check, an incredibly thoughtful feature. It is also fitted with an [LED floodlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkpro-series), a whiteboard, a [built-in power bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbox-power-strip), USB ports, Bluetooth speakers (so you can jam out on the job), a digital clock and a bottle opener so you can reward yourself with a cold one while taking breaks.

The Coolbox is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign. A pledge of $169 can get you set up with one of these. This product is a great example of how existing technology can be used in a creative way to create a functional and innovative product.
