Abstract

A container for sockets is fabricated from molded plastic components including opposed sections or segments forming a case with a circular through passage that accepts or retains a socket storage wheel. A rotatable cover fits over the socket storage wheel immediate a molded handle and a molded storage pocket. The cover interacts with a hinged lid associated with an auxiliary storage pocket. Sockets may be stored on pegs positioned on the storage wheels and ratchets, extensions and other tool items may be retained within the auxiliary storage pocket.
