A case is provided with rigid outside walls and inside walls dividing the case into many different compartments. One compartment is made specifically to hold a power tool such as a drill. Other compartments are specifically shaped to hold a flashlight, extra batteries and battery charger. The specifically designed compartments for holding the power tool, flashlight, extra batteries and battery charger are made of such a size that they will fit many different sizes and shapes of the respective tool. The compartment for holding the drill is shaped to also hold a different power tool at the same time it is holding one power tool, such as a drill and a staple gun, in a nested relationship.
