<< I think I've got the same one -- about $150, triangular, full of places to
put tools, and rubber straps to hold things in place.  I love it, even though
my property is such that I can't conveniently take it exactly where  I want
it.  I bring it as close as I can, and then make short trips to it, instead of
going back and forth to the garage endlessly.  Mine is made from  cherry
plywood, and was easy to assemble.  It stores more tools in a small  piece of
the garage than anything else I can imagine, and is portable to boot!
 
 Having said that, though, I am about to commandeer an old plastic mailbox  to
hide in the garden for some hand tools, pencil and paper, plant markers  and
indelible pens, some ribbon to mark plants with, and maybe even a transistor
radio, so that I can do things spur of the moment when inspiration strikes.

I have thought about the mail box idea too.   I can really take mine any where
on the property that I want, but I'd like a gardening smock or apron so that I
could have a few essentials right on me.  I still tend to lay smaller items on
the ground rather than putting them in the tool cady.

The very best part of the Christmas present was that my husband put the tool
caddy together.  I left the house while he did it as he is not too handy with
that sort of thing.  When I got back, it was all together and he wasn't mad.
Quite an accomplishment.

One thought that made me realize the price wasn't so bad, was the amount of
money I would have to spend on hangers and organizers for the walls in the
garage, plus putting them up, etc.  Add that to the convenience, and you've
got a good buy.

P.S.  I have no commercial interest in this either.
