Abstract
A long handled tool storage device has a base panel with a top surface, a base perimeter that defines a base panel size and shape, and a bottom side arranged so that the base perimeter rests on a ground surface when the storage device is in use. Two sides of the base panel are joined together at first ends thereof to generally define a rear corner and a front side spanning between second ends of the two sides. A plurality of tool handle receptacles are provided in the base panel and at least recessed downward relative to a plane of the top surface. A plurality of risers extend upward from the base panel. An upper panel has a perimeter that defines an upper panel size and shape. The upper panel 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. At least a portion of the front side of the base panel extends outward away from the rear corner and beyond a linear reference extending between the second ends of the two sides.
