Abstract
Whether constructed of square or rectangular configuration with handles for lifting and carrying about, and with internal shelves or braces to receive and hold compartmentalized partitioned layers to accept the various tools of various trades, the container of the invention, when of a composition to support the weight of studs and boards placed upon them, provides a crate which cannot only carry the tools of the trade, but can serve as a workbench in performing needed work at a jobsite location, as well as to support the weight of a workman standing upon included boards and studs as a “step” to reach elevated heights in the doing of a required job.

A stackable container comprising:
- first and second opposing surfaces, third and fourth opposing surfaces, a supporting bottom and an open top;
- first and second wing sections open at a too end and closed at a bottom and, individually extending outwardly from said first and second opposing surfaces respectively;
- first and second handle sections individually at said third and fourth opposing surfaces respectively;
- a substrate base coupled with and beneath said supporting bottom;
- with said substrate base being of substantially the same configuration as said open top but of a lesser cross-sectional area thereof;
- with at least one aperture in each of said third and fourth opposing surfaces adjacent a top thereof;
- with at least one aperture in said substrate base being in vertical alignment with at least one of said apertures in each of said third and fourth opposing surfaces;
- a first compartmentalized partition layer of predetermined construction extending inwardly of said container between said first and second opposing surfaces, and a second compartmentalized partition layer of predetermined construction extending inwardly of said container between said third and fourth opposing surfaces, with said first layer being adjacent to said supporting bottom and with said second layer being adjacent to said open top;
- wherein each of said first and second layers are compartmentalized for receipt of construction tools utilized by individual ones of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and general handymen;
- individual ones of shelves and braces extending inwardly from said first and second opposing surfaces and from said third and fourth opposing surfaces for supporting said first and second compartmentalized partition layers;
- wherein each of said first and second wing sections include at least one aperture at left and right opposing ends thereof, sized to receive individual ones of bolts, screws and pins extending through each of said apertures of said substrate base and each of said apertures of said third and fourth opposing surfaces to secure a pair of stackable containers one inside the other.
