A container comprising:
- a housing;
- a first interface located along an upper surface of the housing, the first interface configured to couple the housing to a modular tool storage device;
- a drawer slidably coupled to the housing, the drawing enclosing a compartment;
- a cover pivotally coupled to the housing, the cover interfacing with an outer surface of the drawer to restrict the drawer from opening when the cover is in a locked position;
- and
- a latch coupled to the housing that detachably engages with the cover, wherein the latch is engaged with the cover when the cover is in the locked position and retains the cover in the locked position.

A modular storage system comprising:
- a container comprising:
- a top panel, a bottom panel, and a sidewall extending between the top panel and the bottom panel, and an interior space defined by the top panel, the bottom panel and the sidewall;
- a first interface located along an upper surface of the top panel, the first interface configured to couple the top panel to a modular tool storage device;
- and
- a drawer slidably coupled to the sidewall, the drawing extending and retracting through the sidewall from the interior space, the drawer enclosing a compartment;
- and
- a storage unit comprising a lower surface, a second interface located along the upper surface, the second interface configured to detachably engage with the first interface of the container, and a housing defining a storage compartment.

A container comprising:
- a housing;
- a first interface located along an upper surface of the housing, the first interface configured to couple the housing to a modular tool storage device;
- a drawer slidably coupled to the housing, the drawing enclosing a compartment;
- a cover pivotally coupled to the housing, the cover interfacing with an outer surface of the drawer to restrict the drawer from sliding out of the housing when the cover is in a locked position;
- and
- a fastener coupled to an aperture defined by the housing, the fastener restricting the cover from actuating from the locked position to an open position, wherein when the cover is in the open position the drawer is slidable out of the housing.
