Various embodiments of a modular tool storage system include one or more storage devices. One embodiment has a support including a base defining a back surface, an opposing front surface, and one or more sidewalls extending from the front surface. The front surface and the one or more sidewalls defining a containment area. The support includes coupling devices, such as male couplers, to couple the support to other components within the modular storage system.

A storage container provided with a modular container housing, having multiple housing modules arranged above one another in a vertical direction and coupled to one another in pairs. Housing modules that are arranged directly above one another border a respective receiving compartment for a pull-out and push-in drawer element. Each housing module arranged between two receiving compartments is designed as a housing intermediate module, which is provided with a module horizontal wall, from the edge of which an upper module side wall projects upwards and a lower module side wall projects downwards. In this way, each housing intermediate module simultaneously contributes towards forming both a compartment side wall bordering the receiving compartment arranged above the housing intermediate module, and a compartment side wall laterally bordering the receiving compartment arranged under same.

The present disclosure concerns a coupling mechanism for detachably attaching two or more utility modules to one another, utility assembles, mobile carriers and other attachable modules and articles.

The present disclosure concerns a coupling mechanism for detachably attaching two or more utility modules to one another, utility assembles, mobile carriers and other attachable modules and articles.

According to an embodiment, a toolbox includes a housing, one or more drawers received in the housing, and a handle extending from the housing. The handle comprises a pair of spaced grasping surfaces connected by a central grasping surface, the spaced grasping surface and the central grasping surface each spaced from the housing. According to another embodiment, a toolbox includes a housing and one or more drawers slidably received in the housing. The one or more drawers each comprise an integral latch, and the housing comprises an integral latch receptacle. Closing the drawer of the toolbox with a first amount of force does not engage the integral latch with the latch receptacle, while closing the drawer of the toolbox with a second amount of force automatically engages the integral latch with the latch receptacle, securing the one or more drawers within the housing.

A power tool system and method are provided that includes a power tool device having a body, a terminal interface coupled to the body, and an electronic controller coupled to the body. The system further includes packaging containing the power tool device, and a packaging interface system. The packaging interface system includes a connection port and a power tool device connector. The connection port is exposed external to the packaging and receives a security command, for example, from a reusable adapter in communication with a point of sale device. The power tool device connector selectively engages with the terminal interface and provides a communication path between the connection port and the terminal interface. The electronic controller of the power tool device receives the security command from the packaging interface system via the power tool device connector, and unlocks the power tool device in response to the security command.

The systems described in this disclosure can be used with a storage system to provide a platform for items and/or papers such as blueprints. A container includes a top panel that is pivotal relative to the container. The container may include additional panels that are pivotal with respect to the top panel and that rotate away from the top panel to extend the platform provided by the top panel.

A toolbox apparatus for portably storing tools includes a container with a pivoting holder positioned on one side of the container. The pivoting holder is shaped to hold a plurality of elongated tools in vertical orientations when upright and is pivotable rearwardly to tilt the elongated tools downwardly, thus compacting the toolbox apparatus such that the toolbox apparatus may be storied in a shorter space.

A modular storage system of connectable, heavy-duty storage boxes, crates, rolling carts and/or dollies, work surfaces, organizers, trays, accessories is provided for internal and external item storage and organization and convenient access for use and transport, that is expandable, customizable and readily adaptable. Storage boxes have different sizes by length, width and/or height and have universal box-to-box connection system for stacking and connection to mounting accessories. Boxes have removable, customizable organization inserts (e.g., dividers, storage trays, bins, alignment trays for bins, and bins of different sizes). Box lid rib grid with bosses and undercuts expands internal organization, including cooperation with dual purpose dividers and accessories. Boxes have external mounting accessories to expand external organization. Different housing modes are provided including wall mount systems for wall or side of a truck or van, and different transport modes are provided (e.g., base box with wheels, or on a dolly or a cart).

Various embodiments of a modular tool storage system including one or more shop storage device is provided. The devices include coupling devices, such as male couplers, to couple the device to other components within a modular storage system.
