ABSTRACT:
A portable storage assembly includes a bottom tub container, a series of at least two trays which nest one within the other and which collectively nest in the tub container and a cover. The assembly is retained in assembled condition by latches along the sides of the container that cooperate with the cover and the trays. The latches are pivotally supported on the tub container. The top of the cover includes a handle which bridges a recess in the top surface. A workpiece retaining groove is defined in the cover and the handle. The cover further includes storage retaining elements molded on the underside of the cover. The nesting trays include a handle in the lower tray which projects through an opening in the upper tray and nests in an aligned handle associated with the upper tray. The handles of the separate trays nest one within the other so that the trays may be simultaneously transported.
