Abstract
A tool container has a first and second housing as well as a tool retainer. The first and second housings are rotatably coupled with the tool retainer. The first and second housings move from a closed position, surrounding the tool retainer prohibiting access to the tool retainer, to an open position, enabling access to the tool retainer. The tool retainer is independently rotatable with respect to the first and second housings in the open position. The tool retainer has at least one member to retain a tool on the tool retainer. The tool retainer has a compartment which is accessible when the first and second housings are in both said open and closed positions.
