A tool support device configured to couple to an interior corner of a mounting wall, the tool support device comprising:
- an upper wall defining an upper surface and an opposing lower surface;
- a plurality of support openings formed in the upper wall, the plurality of support openings configured to support a plurality of tools;
- a sidewall extending from the lower surface, the sidewall comprising a first portion and a second portion generally perpendicular to the first portion, the sidewall defining an outer surface and an opposing inner surface;
- a first channel formed in the first portion of the sidewall, the first channel configured to receive a hook that detachably couples the sidewall and the upper wall to the mounting wall;
- a support extending inwardly from the inner surface of the sidewall at a location corresponding to the first channel.
