A toolbox receptacle with a sloped face typically inclined at 5°-85°to the horizontal, with a preferred slope of 15°-65°, contains a series of compartments inside, specifically designed for holding tools and materials of various sizes; the series of compartments may be removable; the compartments recede in a sloped fashion, but not necessarily with the same slope as the terminating margins of the receptacle; this design facilitates use by a user since all the tools in the sloped compartments can be seen at once and may be stored more easily; the toolbox may contain a top wedge shaped nesting section which slides along a flanged sloped face of the lower section of the toolbox assisted by longitudinal slots in the flanges of the bottom section of the toolbox and corresponding slots in the top wedge shaped section; the receptacle in its preferred form is made from metal or plastic, and may include folding wheels and support framework.
