1. A storage system comprising
a first storage base comprising a frame and a handle, the frame including a pair of horizontal side walls that face each other, a pair of horizontal end walls that face each other and extend transversely between the pair of horizontal side walls, and a partition wall that extends transversely between the pair of horizontal end walls to divide the frame into a first compartment and a second compartment, and the handle extending from the partition wall of the frame,
a plurality of removable receptacles each configured to be received within one of the first compartment and the second compartment of the frame, each receptacle comprising a planar bottom with side walls coupled to a plurality of outward peripheral edges of the planar bottom to form a rectangular shape and a cap in substantially a same shape as the planar bottom configured to be received by top edges of the side walls to create an enclosed receptacle,
wherein the partition wall has a first side that faces the first compartment and a second side opposite the first side that faces the second compartment, each of the first side and the second side of the partition wall is formed to include a plurality of partition slots, and one side wall of each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles includes a tab that extends horizontally across a portion of the one side wall, downward from the one side wall, and outward from the one side wall, and
wherein the tab of each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is configured to be inserted into one partition slot of the plurality of partition slots when each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is located in one of the first compartment and the second compartment of the frame,
wherein each partition slot of the plurality of partition slots is defined by a first slot end wall that extends outwardly away from one of the first side and the second side of the partition wall, a second slot end wall spaced apart horizontally from the first slot end wall that extends outwardly away from one of the first side and the second side of the partition wall, and a horizontal side wall that extends horizontally between and interconnects the first slot end wall and the second slot end wall, and
wherein the horizontal side wall is spaced apart from one of the first side and the second side of the partition wall so that the tab is located between the horizontal side wall and one of the first side and the second side of the partition wall when each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is located in one of the first compartment and the second compartment of the frame.
