Abstract: A tool storage system includes a body, such as a panel, to which tools may be attached, a base to which the body is removably fastened, and a fastening mechanism for connecting the body to the base so that the body may be attached to the base or removed and used remote therefrom. In one form, the fastening mechanism includes a hinge connected to the body and the base for providing an axis about which the body may be rotated with respect to the base, and a latch connected to the base and movable between a first position, or secured position, wherein the latch secures the body to the base and a second position, or released position, wherein the latch releases the body so that it may be removed from the base. In another form, the body is secured to the base via a plurality of latches. In yet another form, the body is secured to the base via quarter turn fasteners.

Abstract: A drawer in accordance with the invention comprises a base having a drawer member attached thereto and a latch. The base has a structure for mating with the latch and is connected to the drawer member via a conventional slide assembly which allows the drawer to move in and out of the base. The latch is connected to the drawer member and has a corresponding mating structure for mating with the mating structure of the base. The latch is movable between a first position, or locked position, wherein the mating structures on connected, preventing the drawer member from moving out of the base, and a second position, or released position, wherein the mating structures are disengaged, allowing the drawer member to be moved out of the base.
