FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates generally to tool carriers and, more specifically, to tool carriers to be worn by a user. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Tools are often carried or held in tool boxes. The tool boxes may include trays that can be removed and set by an area being worked on by a mechanic or other crafts person. However, such tool trays may be inaccessible to a mechanic working in a confined space requiring the mechanic to enter and exit the work area to swap tools. [0003] Tool belts are also used, perhaps more commonly by carpenters than mechanics, as a way of accessibly carrying tools. However, tool belts can be inconvenient for smaller tools, and access to a belt can be difficult if the user is prone, or leaning over a projection such as a fender of a car. [0004] Thus, there is an unmet need for an accessible and convenient device for carrying tools, especially when the user is working in a confined or limited space. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [...
