Tool Storage/Carrier repair

Not specifically RV related but I have a nice Craftsman 100+ piece socket and wrench set in a black plastic carrying case. The two tabs that keep the case closed have broken off. Anybody have any ideas on how to repair the case so that it will stay closed? Right now, I have a strap around it but if it's not tight enough, there is enough movement of the lid to let the sockets come out of their place and then I have a scrambled mess!

    Use a short bungy cord that will keep it tight. Use a rubber cord not the nylon type

    maybe metal clasps... no real idea.

    I own a 175 piece Craftsman set.. case is just fine.. and it was always scrambled ... even when new..
    so I never tilt/angle or anything other than lay it flat.. even carrying it.
