Abstract
A tool storage unit is disclosed having a cabinet structure with a plurality of surfaces defining a first interior space and a storage compartment defining a second interior space, the compartment being configured to move between an open position extending from the first interior space and a closed position retracted within the first interior space. A stationary compartment sidewall fixed within the first interior space and adjacent the storage compartment limits access to the second interior space from the first interior space when the storage compartment is in the closed position. A plurality of power outlets positioned within the storage compartment such that each is accessible from the second interior space, and a locking feature for securing the storage compartment in the closed position are also featured. Finally, a recessed area integral to the top surface, a cover hinged to the top surface and covering the recessed area, and a power outlet positioned with the recessed area is a further feature of the disclosed storage unit. A power outlet positioned on the top surface of the cabinet structure outside of the recessed area may also be provided.
