The two flanges 21 of each rail groove 20 are parallel to the longitudinal direction L and the two mounting sides 11, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the tool holder.

[0032] In this embodiment, the tool rail 1 further includes an attachment groove 30, which is provided at an attachment side 12 of the elongated body 10. The two mounting sides 11 and the attachment side 12 are adjacent to each other so that the elongated body 10 has a triangular structure. The attachment groove 30 includes two flanges 31 extending along the longitudinal direction L. The two flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30 extend in opposite directions and in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction L. Each of the flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30 is thicker than each of the flanges 21 of each of the mounting sides 11, and has better structural strength.

[0033] The track 1 further includes a plurality of corners 40, one of the plurality of corners 40 is integrally connected between the flanges 21 of the two track grooves 20, one of the plurality of corners 40 is integrally connected between one of the flanges 21 of the track groove 20 and one of the two flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30, one of the plurality of corners 40 is integrally connected between one of the flanges 21 of the other track groove 20 and another of the flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30, and the two flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30 are flush with the two of the plurality of corners 40 at the attachment side 12. In detail, a corner groove is formed between each of the flanges 31 of the attachment groove 30 and one of the corners 40. In this way, the track 1 has good structural strength and can be stably mounted on a mounting base.

[0034] In the present embodiment, a bottom of at least one of the two rail grooves 20 includes an elongated rib 22 extending along the longitudinal direction L, and the elongated rib 22 is wider than each of the flanges 21 of each of the rail grooves 20. The elongated rib 22 can strengthen the structural strength of the rail groove 20. In detail, the elongated rib 22 includes an elongated groove 221. Preferably, the elongated body 10 further includes two ports 13, and two cover members 50 are inserted into the two ports 13 and respectively close the two ports 13. Further, the elongated body 10 further includes a plurality of coupling holes 14, each of the cover members 50 includes a buckle 51 that can be releasably buckled in one of the coupling holes 14, and each of the cover members 50 further includes a through hole 52, and the through hole 52 is for a fastener to pass through to fasten the rail 1.

[0035] The present invention further provides a tool storage device 100. The tool storage device 100 includes the above-mentioned rail 1, and at least one tool seat 60, 70 slidably disposed in one of the rail grooves 20, and the tool seat 60, 70 is used to install a tool (such as a tool head, a sleeve, etc.). The tool seat 60 may include a protrusion 61 that protrudes into the elongated groove 221. The tool seat 70 may include a base 71 and a tool connector 72, the base 71 is slidably disposed in one of the rail grooves 20, and the tool connector 72 is rotatably connected to the base 71 and is used to install a tool (such as a tool head).
