Tool storage devices. A tool storage device may include a handle assembly including a support arm connected between a body and a handle portion and having a substantially rectangular cross section oriented with first walls extending transverse to the axis having a greater width than second walls extending parallel to the axis. A width of the handle portion may be at least about 50% of a width of the body. The body may include a frame assembly formed of a rigid material, a wall formed of a flexible material and at least partially defining the storage compartment with an open top, and a cover formed of a rigid material connected to the frame assembly to selectively close the open top. A wheel well portion receives each wheel and may cover the width of the wheel and a portion of the circumference of the wheel. A radial clearance between the wheel and a lower end of the wheel well may be no more than about 0.5 inches.

The present disclosure is directed to a holster. device. The holster device includes an arcuate shaft, a first end of the arcuate shaft connected to a first end of a cradle, a second end of the arcuate shaft connected to a handle support and a central portion of the arcuate shaft formed between the first end of the arcuate shaft and the second end of the arcuate shaft, the cradle configured to contact a tool in a central portion of the cradle, wherein a central portion of the cradle is at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to the first end of the arcuate shaft and the handle support configured to contact the tool in a central portion of the handle support, wherein a central portion of the handle support is at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to the central portion of the arcuate shaft.

A painting caddy device carries paint and a painting tool in an upright position to prevent spilling while attached to the body of the user. The device includes a mounting panel and a reservoir having a closed bottom, an open top and a perimeter wall extending between the closed bottom and the open top. The perimeter wall has an outwardly flared section adjacent to the open top. The outwardly flared section extends around lateral sides and a front side of the perimeter wall. A pivot arm has a first end rotationally coupled to the mounting panel and distal ends relative to the first end being rotationally coupled to an associated one of the lateral sides of the reservoir. A receptacle extends from the reservoir having an open upper end for receiving a paint brush for storage adjacent to the reservoir.

A dispenser for storing and dispensing a rolled support strap, including but not limited to hanger straps (sometimes referred to as plumber's tape) such as those sold under the trade name TAB TAPE, as well as assemblies that include a dispenser and a rolled support strap therein, and associated methods. A holster for holding the dispenser, as well as a system including a holster and a dispenser, are also disclosed.

A wearable load redistribution system can include a base support structure and a thoracic frame configured to surround an upper torso of a wearer of the system. The base support structure can include a support frame and a plurality of support members disposed at distal ends of the support frame. The thoracic frame can include a coupling structure, a front plate, and a plurality of struts. A connector member can removably connect the coupling structure to the support frame. The plurality of struts is mated to the front plate to redistribute a weight of the front plate away from shoulders of the wearer and towards the base support structure.

A tool retaining apparatus including a base and a tool support secured to the base. The tool support has a pair of spaced arms for supporting a tool there between. A securement member is disposed on the base between the two arms. The support member has a distal end. The distal end and the pair of spaced arms forming a tool holding space there between adapted to receive at least a portion of a tool. The distal end is movable between a first position wherein a path to the tool holding space is closed to prevent removal of the tool therefrom and a second position wherein the path is open to permit removal of the tool from the tool holding space.

A portable organization bag with removable pockets comprises a flexible main body having one or more removable storage compartments. The portable organization bag with removable pockets can be traversed between a first storage position securable to a surface and a second transportable position that can be transported away from the surface. Preferably, the main body comprises a dividing plate which separates the main body into a first portion and second portion.

A multifunctional belt comprising an elongate belt strap having an end flap segment selectively transitional relative to a body segment between a looped configuration and an extended configuration. A fastener is coupled to the belt strap for securing the end flap segment in the looped configuration. A buckle is coupled to the belt strap and includes a buckle frame, a cross bar, and at least one tool bit. The buckle frame defines a longitudinal frame axis, and the cross bar extends between opposed portions of the buckle frame and defines cross bar axis that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis. The tool bit is pivotally coupled to the cross bar and is pivotable about the cross bar axis. The tool bit is sized and positioned to be captured between the end flap segment and the body segment when the end flap segment is in the looped configuration.

A tool storage device and a tool box. The device may include flexible walls cooperating to define a storage area, and a rigid frame supported in the storage area and including a central portion extending in a direction from a bottom wall toward a top wall, one base portion extending from one side of the central portion, along the bottom wall and toward one side wall, and another base portion extending from an opposite side of the central portion, along the bottom wall and toward an opposite side wall. The tool box may include a body defining a storage compartment; a lid defining a groove in its outer surface to support an elongated work piece; and a handle engageable with a work piece supported in the groove. The lid may be attachable to the top of the body in a closed position and to the bottom in a stowed position.

A device for carrying cordage includes a flexible, elongate and planar inner core having two opposite longitudinal sides and two opposite ends; and a cord wound around the two opposite longitudinal sides of the inner core along a longitudinal direction between the two opposite ends. The inner core and the wound cord together form an insert which has sufficient rigidity that facilitates full insertion of the insert into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure without bunching or kinking of the cord in a way that blocks a trailing portion of the cord from inserting into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure. A method for manufacturing the device is also disclosed.
