The Anarchist's Tool Chest, Revised Edition is Christopher Schwarz's 2025 rewrite of his book on choosing a hand tool kit of fewer than 50 tools and building a full-size English tool chest to hold it.

Schwarz makes the case that you can build almost anything with fewer than 50 good tools, and shows how to pick real working tools whatever their age or brand. Then he takes you step by step through building the chest. For this edition he revised every chapter, shortened the tool list, and with his shopmate Megan Fitzpatrick worked out easier ways to build the chest, with more room for tools and easier access to them. The book is hardcover and Smyth sewn, 6 x 9 in and 373 pages, printed in the United States on heavier, smoother paper and set in 12 pt Garamond Premier Pro.

Woodworkers John Hoffman and Christopher Schwarz founded Lost Art Press in 2007. Its books ship from a warehouse in Covington, Kentucky, and are printed in the United States.
