ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a toolbox may includes a plurality of walls that define at least in part an interior from/into which tools may be retrieved or deposited. A cable housing may be secured to an interior wall of the toolbox, with a reel secured therein for rotational winding and unwinding of a cable. A cable retention knob on the distal end of the cable may be available external the cable housing for enabling withdrawal of the cable external the toolbox. Further, a power spring may be operatively configured to apply a rotational force to the reel to enable tensioned winding/unwinding of the cable about the reel. In a particular example, the walls for the toolbox form an external shape adapted for installation across the bed of a pickup truck.
