After you've got your tools together, you'll need something to carry them in. At the low end of the totem pole is the basic plastic box (figure A). A more rugged option is the metal box (figure B), which includes a plastic insert for carrying a few tools. If you want something rugged but lightweight, consider a heavy-duty plastic box (figure C), which includes a plastic tray for carrying smaller tools. Some models come with a tool-sorter lid of see-through plastic. A step up, literally, from the plastic toolbox is the "stool box" (figure D), a combination stool/tool carrier. Some models include extension cords. If you need to tote a lot of tools, consider using a tool tub with rollers. It includes two stackable plastic inner trays. If you want everything in easy reach, try a tool bag (figure E) that fits over a 5-gallon bucket. If you don't like the hard sides of traditional toolboxes, switch to a tool bag (figure F), a soft-sided tool carrier with lots of pockets on the outside. To keep your cordless drill in easy reach, attach a drill holster (figure G ) to your belt. Similar carriers are available for measuring tapes (figure H), needle-nose pliers and utility knives (figure I). Tool belts and tool aprons (figure J) include lots of pouches for nails, screws and tools.
