Abstract
A tool caddy for holding a variety of small tools of varying sizes, such as drill bits, saw blades, or the like. The tool caddy is intended to be adhesively attached to an electric drill or saber saw or the like to keep the interchangeable tool elements readily at hand. The device comprises a flat sheet of flexible material having a plurality of parallel spaced apart longitudinal corrugated tool-receiving pockets on the upper surface of the base sheet. A layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive covers the bottom surface of the base sheet for attachment to a tool housing. A removable peelable cover sheet overlies the adhesive pending application to the tool housing. An elastic strap or band extends transversely over the top surface of the tool-receiving pockets to retain a chuck key, or the like.
