A carrier for tools and the like has a base normally adapted to sit on a floor surface, a frame extending upward from the base, and a hollow case adapted to hold the tools and having bottom, top, and side walls displaceable on the frame between a lower position sitting on the base and an upper position on the frame spaced above the base. This frame includes at least one generally vertical post and the case is vertically slidable along the post. A latch or the like is provided for retaining the case in the upper position on the post. The latch includes a spring-loaded latch that automatically secures the case in the upper position when it is slid into the upper position. In addition the frame includes two such posts parallel to each other and the upper wall is provided generally centrally with a handle. Each post includes an upper tube and a lower tube telescoping there-with. The lower tubes are fixed in the base and each post projects through the lower wall and through the upper wall of the case. Normally the base is provided with floor-engaging wheels, typically two of them at a rear edge of the base. In addition the frame includes a crosspiece connecting upper ends of the upper tubes.
