Abstract: A portable device has a container portion for tools and materials and a handle for carrying and hanging, an electrical power supply section for obtaining power for and sending power to lights and tools, an illumination section for lighting a work area, and a base for standing the device on a surface. The device nests with other like devices when empty. The power cord preferably is stored on a reel within the base of the container, within the electrical section. The device enables tradesmen to be self-sufficient on a work site in building construction, providing light, storage, and power where needed, conveniently and inexpensively.
