BACKGROUND ART
Workmen such as carpenters often require a large number of tools to properly complete a job. Many of the tools require electrical power to operate. Because construction sites and the like often only have one electrical outlet provided on a power pole, it would be desirable to have a portable tool box that included an elongated extension cord having a plug at one end to allow for positioning of the tool box near the work site and a four outlet socket assembly mounted to an exterior of the tool box to allow a workman to plug in more than one power tool while providing a close convenient location for storing, retrieving and connecting other power tools should they be required.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a portable tool storage box that includes box assembly including a box portion and a lid portion hingedly attached to the box portion along one side edge and detachably securable to an opposite side edge with a hasp assembly; the lid portion having a light activated light source attached to an inner surface thereof and a handle attached to an exterior center thereof; the box portion having a detachable extension cord reel, a storage cavity formed therein sealable with the lid portion, a number of lidded compartments provided within the storage cavity each having a magnetically securable lid member, two exterior light assemblies each having a lens cover for emitting light from an exterior side surface of the box portion, a four plug outlet provided on an exterior side surface of the bottom portion, an electric power assembly including an elongated power cord having a plug end extending out of the box portion and a supply end in connection with the two exterior light assemblies, the four plug outlet and the light activated light source.
Accordingly, a portable tool storage box is provided. The portable tool storage box includes a box portion and a lid portion hingedly attached to the box portion along one side edge and detachably securable to an opposite side edge with a hasp assembly; the lid portion having a light activated light source attached to an inner surface thereof and a handle attached to an exterior center thereof; the box portion having a detachable extension cord reel, a storage cavity formed therein sealable with the lid portion, a number of lidded compartments provided within the storage cavity each having a magnetically securable lid member, two exterior light assemblies each having a lens cover for emitting light from an exterior side surface of the box portion, a four plug outlet provided on an exterior side surface of the bottom portion, an electric power assembly including an elongated power cord having a plug end extending out of the box portion and a supply end in connection with the two exterior light assemblies, the four plug outlet and the light activated light source.
