About Red Toolbox

Red Toolbox's family of brands has been inspiring kids' imaginations and encouraging hands-on play for generations. Founded in 2007 by Ami Rosenfeld, Red Toolbox began with a vision to create real working tools for children. After completing a DIY project with his young son, Ami realized the need for tools ergonomically designed for smaller hands. This idea led to the creation of the Stanley Jr. brand in collaboration with Stanley Black & Decker. 

Over the years, Red Toolbox has continued to grow, adding innovative products like pretend playsets, kids' gardening tools, and take-apart vehicles. Its diverse portfolio features collaborations with iconic brands including Stanley, Black & Decker, Char-Broil, Oklahoma Joe's, Craftsman, Tasty, and Miracle-Gro.
