A backyard shed in upstate New York.
Powertoolboxes was started in 2019 by two siblings who couldn't find a watering can they actually liked. We make objects for the slow, quiet rituals of a garden — the midweek pruning, the sunset watering, the weekend re-pot.
Everything we sell is built to outlast the season. Our tools come from forges that have been making blades for three generations. Our planters are wheel-thrown by a small studio in Ohio. Our lighting is engineered to survive a Vermont winter without giving up.
We don't sell trends. We sell the things you'll keep on a hook in the shed, beside the trowel your grandmother used.
Three things, mostly.
Slow over fast.
The garden teaches patience. Our objects should too.
Real materials.
Stoneware, forged steel, hand-blown glass — the things that age beautifully.
Buy once.
We'd rather make one good can than ten cheap ones.
