Abstract
A tool organizer provides a modular building block to allow assembly of organizers to hold multiple tools of a desired quantity. The organizers have a front tab that fits into a rearward receiver of another organizer to allow multiple organizers to be assembled together to make a multi-tool organizer block. The organizers employ tool receiving channels with curved profiles to allow tools placed therein to be aesthetically aligned for an ordered appearance.

- a base member having a tool receiver channel defined therein, said base member including a tab and a tab receiving slot, the tab located at a front side of the base member and extending vertically therefrom, and the tab receiving slot located proximal to a rear side of the base member and accessible from a bottom side, wherein the tab receiving slot includes a ridge at left and right edges thereof,
- said tool receiver channel having a first wall extending from a lower region to a first upper region along a rear face of the tab, and a second wall spaced away from said first wall extending from the lower region to a second upper region,
- wherein said second wall has a multi-sloped profile for providing a surface for abutting a portion of a face of a tool when the tool is placed for holding in the tool receiver channel,
- wherein said tab receiving slot is configured to receive a corresponding tab of another tool organizer thereby coupling multiple base members joined in series to form a composite organizer with a combined set of tool receiver channels;
- and
