1. A panel for a storage case, the panel comprising:
a body having a planar surface; and
a plurality of recesses arranged in a grid along the body, each recess being similarly shaped and sized and having a double bayonet shape defining a partially circular shape with a pair of bayonet channels, the partially circular shape of each recess including a first circular portion having a first diameter and a second circular portion having a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the first diameter and the second diameter are measured in a common plane defined by the planar surface;
wherein each of the plurality of recesses is configured to selectively receive a peg by a bayonet style coupling, wherein the peg supports a tool accessory,
wherein the grid is arranged in rows along the body, the plurality of recesses within the rows being evenly spaced from each other,
wherein the rows are evenly spaced from each other, and wherein each recess is offset from adjacent recesses in adjacent rows in two directions,
wherein each row extends along an imaginary line,
wherein the second diameter of each recess is measured along an axis of symmetry,
wherein the axis of symmetry is oriented obliquely relative to the imaginary line.
