Tab & Slot Tool Tote

Here's a handy carry-all for organizing tools. And it goes together without glue or fasteners.

This tool tote reminds me of the interlocking cardboard or sheet metal toys I had as a kid — the kind where you assembled them by "inserting tab A into slot B." Unlike those toys, this tote isn’t some flimsy box. Once all the parts are together, they interlock to form a rigid, sturdy assembly. What makes this even more amazing is the tote isn’t glued and you don’t need any hardware or fasteners to build it. Customized for You. Besides the easy assembly, you can customize the dividers and tool holders to suit your needs. In fact, if you’re like me, you might make two or three of these easy-to-build totes for specific tasks like hanging pictures, doing household repairs, or organizing craft supplies. And if you want to change the layout of the tote later on? No problem. The tote comes apart just as easily and quickly as it went together in the first place.
