Abstract
A tool storage unit includes left and right walls, and a bottom wall. A left protrusion projects from an upper segment of the left wall toward the right wall for urging a front end wall of a socket. A right protrusion projects from an intermediate segment of the right wall toward the left wall for abutting against a central depressed area in a rear end wall of the socket. A plurality of the tool storage units are interconnected in a row for storing a plurality of sockets, in which the left protrusions on the left walls of the tool storage units are formed as a continuous projection that extends across the left walls.
