Abstract
A storage device for long handle tools has a base panel with a top surface and a base perimeter that defines a base panel size and shape. A plurality of tool handle receptacles are provided in the top surface of the base panel and a plurality of risers extend upward from the base panel. An upper panel has a perimeter that defines an upper panel size and shape and is supported by the risers above and spaced from the top surface of the base panel. A plurality of tool handle openings are formed through the upper panel. One or more of the tool handle openings, the tool handle receptacles, the upper panel, and the base panel are constructed and arranged to counteract a tipping moment created by long handled tools received through the tool handle openings and in the tool handle receptacles.
