A utility cart having a tool handle holding device for firmly holding the handle of a long handled lawn or garden tool to the side of the utility cart is disclosed. The device comprises one or more clips that are disposed below the rim of the bin of the utility cart. The cart and the clip(s) may be integrally molded from a suitable plastic material, such as high density polyethylene. Each clip is deformable within its elastic limit so that a tool handle may be insertingly forced into the clip wherein it is held within the clip, upon elastic contraction of the clip, by a tool retaining flange and a tool retaining lip. Removal of the tool handle from the clip is effected by removingly forcing the handle out of the clip whereupon the clip deforms sufficiently to allow the tool handle to pass between the tool retaining flange and the tool retaining lip. Upon removal of the handle from the clip, the clip then contracts to its pre-insertion, nondeformed condition.
