1. A modular custom mechanic's tool accessory to hold a plurality of mechanic's tools, the custom mechanic's tool accessory comprising modular mechanic's tool holders that are interconnectable to cooperatively hold a plurality of mechanic's tools, each mechanic's tool holder comprising:
a base section;
a first upright wall having an inner surface and an outer surface projecting upward from the base section, and a label receiving portion disposed on an upward facing surface connecting the inner and outer surfaces, wherein the label receiving portion is configured to receive a label indicative of identifying information related to one of the plurality of mechanic's tools;
a second upright wall spaced from the first upright wall, the second upright wall having an inner surface and an outer surface projecting upward from the base section, wherein the base section, the first upright wall, and the second upright wall cooperate to form a mechanic's tool holding portion;
at least one tongue extending longitudinally at least partially along the height of the first upright wall and projecting outwardly from the outer surface of the first upright wall; and
at least one tongue receiving recess extending longitudinally at least partially along the height of the second upright wall and disposed inwardly of the outer surface of the second upright wall,
wherein the at least one tongue is engageable in locking relationship with the at least one recess of a first adjacent mechanic's tool holder to prevent disengagement of the mechanic's tool holder with the first adjacent mechanic's tool holder, and the at least one tongue receiving recess engageable in locking relationship with the at least one tongue of a second adjacent mechanic's tool holder to prevent disengagement of the mechanic's toolholder with the second adjacent mechanic's tool holder.
