• means for releasably securing the first and second longitudinal ends together;
• sleeves located on an outer surface of the body and arranged side-by-side in a row so that each sleeve extends laterally across the outer surface, each of the sleeves having opposite ends that are open to permit an implement or tool to be placed therein from either of the opposite ends and protrude from both of the opposite ends;
