Following the discovery of a vast infiltration of HYDRA sleeper agents among S.H.I.E.L.D.’s ranks, Director Nick Fury went into hiding, where he eventually encountered Agent Phil Coulson and his Team. Due to his trust and respect for Coulson as one of his former top agents, Fury appointed Coulson as the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and gave him the Toolbox to help him gather the remnants of S.H.I.E.L.D. and rebuild it from the ground up. The Toolbox gave Coulson the coordinates of the Playground, which Coulson made his new headquarters. As Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson regularly consulted the files in the Toolbox, keeping it stored in a secret compartment in his desk. The device continued to prove a valuable asset, giving Coulson information on potential resources and personnel as he continued to rebuild. Along with the Toolbox holding priceless information, when S.H.I.E.L.D. became caught up in HYDRA’s hunt for a decades old artifact that S.H.I.E.L.D. had recently lost, the Toolbox provided files from the Strategic Scientific Reserve revealing the object was the first 0-8-4, an Obelisk that Peggy Carter confiscated in 1945. This is the screen used “Toolbox” used in the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; and shows obvious use from filming and plays a vital part in multiple episodes.
