Here's a pic of my "tool trolley". It's a flat wooden box about 12" x 12", I picked it up about 30 year ago, put 4 casters on it. I use it when working at floor level like on brakes or under a vehicle. Keeps all the tools and small parts corralled.
YMMV

I have one similar, my only suggestion is to add a magnetic pan to hold small parts

A friend used an old creeper, with a back board & peg board hooks & always kept it loaded, with ANYTHING he might need under the car.
Also, IF you work over a cement pit, paint its' walls APPLIANCE WHITE & you WON'T even need a DROP LIGHT!

I have the same but in addition the LARGE MAGNET that came with the car... My guess of hold metal from drain towards the Zenith.
