An illuminated tool caddy (10) is provided for the carrying of tools and parts, and for illumination of work detail related thereto. The primary components of the illuminated tool caddy (10) are a tool carrier (12) and a lamp (14). The lamp (14) is situated within the tool carrier (12) and is of a height such that a bulb housing (44) extends above the side walls (18) of the tool carrier (12). Within the bulb housing (44) are five individual lighting compartments (48), each of which contains a light bulb (54). Reflector facets (56) within each lighting compartment (48) assist in reflecting and directing the light from the light bulbs (54) to give the lamp (14) a hands-free, multidirectional lighting ability. The lamp (14) is capable of simultaneously casting light in any direction, including not only to any side and upwardly, but to the ground and into the interior of the tool carrier (12) as well. The lamp (14) is also removable from the tool carrier for hand-held applications where that is desired. In the preferred embodiment, the tool carrier (12) includes end walls (20) with arcuately fashioned lower portions (40) which provide that the illuminated tool caddy (10) may be dragged or pulled along the ground surface within crawl spaces when it otherwise may not be lifted and carried.
