1. A container assembly comprising:
a first container comprising:
a first coupler extending from a top face of the first container, the first coupler comprising two sidewalls, a back wall, and a rib, the back wall located between the two sidewalls, the two sidewalls and the back wall projecting above a depressed surface of the top face, and the rib extending away from the back wall in a first direction;
a first lid pivotally attached to the first container; and
a first toggle locking latch configured to latch the first lid of the first container in a closed position; and
a second container comprising:
a second coupler extending from the second container, the second coupler comprising a tongue extending in a direction parallel to a bottom face of the second container, the tongue extends in a second direction opposite the first direction, the tongue of the second container is engageable with the rib of the first container such that the tongue engages between the rib and the depressed surface;
a second lid pivotally attached to the second container;
a second toggle locking latch configured to latch the second lid of the second container in a closed position;
a front face;
a first side face;
an opposing second side face;
a first corner bumper coupled to the second container between the front face and the first side face, the first corner bumper defining a first outer surface that faces away from each of the front face and the first side face; and
a second corner bumper coupled to the second container between the front face and the second side face, and the second corner bumper defining a second outer surface that faces away from each of the front face and the second side face;
wherein the first and second couplers of the first and second containers engage each other when the first and second containers are slid with respect to each other along a sliding path defined by the rib and the tongue;
a locking latch arresting location defined by one of the first container or the second container; and
a locking latch coupled to the other of the first container or the second container, the locking latch positionable in a locked position engaging the locking latch arresting location thereby limiting sliding displacement of the first container with respect to the second container.
