A tool organizer and carrying apparatus comprises a rotatable tool mounting assembly having multiple tool receiving surfaces mounted on a frame. The invention preferably comprises a removable base plate to allow for stable placement on a flat surface such as a workbench or shop floor. The frame provides an axis of rotation for the tool mounting assembly to provide a worker fingertip access to tools mounted thereon. Tools such as sockets are retained on multiple tool receiving surfaces with clips, magnets, nuts and bolts and/or other known retention means for easy removal and replacement. The frame is adaptable to mount the organizer on a base or to a workbench, tool chest or the like and further comprises a means for carrying the organizer.
