Claim:
A tool tote, comprising: a tool tote body formed from a bottom wall, two opposing side walls, and two opposing end walls that are generally orthogonal to the bottom wall and the side walls; a rigidity enhancement device pivotably attached to the tool tote body, the rigidity enhancement device being movable between a support position in contact with the bottom wall and the two end walls and a stored position in which the rigidity enhancement device enables the end walls to be collapsed, the rigidity enhancement device including a bottom wall section, two end wall sections, and storage collapsible sections between the bottom wall section and each end wall section; wherein the bottom wall section is pivotably attached to each storage collapsible section and each storage collapsible section is pivotably attached to one of the end wall sections; wherein a combined length of the bottom wall section and the storage collapsible sections is approximately equal to a length of the bottom wall; wherein, in the support position, the bottom wall section and the storage collapsible sections are in substantially planar contact with the bottom wall; and wherein each end wall is formed from first and second foldable sections that are positioned adjacent to each other and include fold lines extending generally vertically from a bottom edge to a top edge so that the end walls can fold to reduce a width of the tool tote body for storage.
