Saddlebags, not the kind that you put on a horse, or the kind that chocolate cream pie puts on you.
These are new saddlebags, more properly toolboxes, I guess, for the Docking Module that's going up to repair the Hubble Telescope.

I can tell you two things;
1- They were built by Boeing.
2- No matter how much you like 'em, you can't afford 'em. ;)

Well, I guess we now know how you organize tools so that someone in giant spacesuit gloves can get at 'em.

Betcha I could - maybe - afford one of the labels. If my bank doesn't go rupt, again.

The top "organizer panel" needs to flip up, revealing a dark, oily pit full of real tools, like assorted sizes of Vise-Grips, Crescent wrenches, hammers, and Channel Locks. Along with the pre-requisite baling wire and duct tape.
