Abstract
Carousel-type tool holders are provided for holding elongated tools such as hydraulic extrication tools. The tool holders can be equipped with spacers and extension plates that allow the tool holders to be configured to accommodate tools of different shapes and sizes. The tool holders also can be equipped with anti-rotation features that lock the rotating portion of the tool holder against rotation, while permitting the rotating portion to be unlocked quickly and with minimal effort.
