tool crib
Workshop supply cage
A tool crib is a storage area in a factory or workshop where tools, equipment, and supplies are kept and distributed to workers as needed.
Typically staffed by an attendant who tracks inventory and loans, it functions like a small library for industrial equipment: Sign out the drill bits at the tool crib.
The crib keeps expensive or specialized tools secure and accounted for.
