Abstract
A holder system for holding at least one socket includes an elongated base, which has a slide slot. Each of a plurality of socket receiving members has a lower retaining portion retained axially and movably on the base, and an upper insert portion that is formed integrally on an upper end of the lower retaining portion and that is adapted to extend into the socket. The upper insert portion includes an integral resilient unit, which is formed with a nub unit that is adapted to be biased to engage a groove in the socket. A lock rod is received slidably within the slide slot in the base, and is disposed under the socket receiving members. A top surface of the lock rod is formed integrally with an upwardly projecting pushing rib unit that is adapted to press the resilient unit against the inner surface of the socket so as to engage the nub unit with the groove in the socket, thereby preventing removal of the socket from the socket receiving member.
