toolcase

Portable workshop container

A toolcase is a container designed to hold and organize tools, typically with compartments or slots for different implements.

Unlike a toolbox, which often opens from the top, a toolcase usually opens like a briefcase or suitcase: He carried his toolcase to the job site.

The term applies to both hard-sided professional cases and soft fabric versions.
