Abstract
A power tool kit includes a storage case configured to store a hand-held power tool and ancillary devices. The storage case includes a first case half pivotably joined to a second case half. In addition, the storage case includes a worktable configured to be stowed inside the storage case. The worktable is formed of a first foldable panel that is rotatably joined to the first case half and a second foldable panel that is rotatably joined to the second case half. When the storage case is in an open case configuration, the first and second panels lie flat and cooperate to form a worktable that includes a power tool guide device.
