Abstract
A bit holder, comprising a base having a plurality of longitudinally oriented bit compartments for releasably storing multiple tool bits, a retention member positioned on the outside of the base for releasably retaining the tool bits within the base, and a magnetic member engaged with the base for allowing the base to be removably attached to a metal surface for storage.
Claims19
A bit holder, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of longitudinally oriented bit compartments for releasably storing multiple tool bits;
- a recessed groove that circumvents the exterior of the base, wherein the recessed grove intersects each longitudinally oriented bit compartment, forming a bore therebetween, resulting in the tool bit protruding into the groove;
- a retention member positioned within the groove for releasably retaining the tool bits within the base.
A bit holder, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of longitudinally oriented bit compartments for releasably storing multiple tool bits and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface of the base is abrasive for allowing a user to easily grip the base during use;
- a recessed groove that circumvents the exterior of the base, wherein the recessed grove intersects each longitudinally oriented bit compartment, forming a bore therebetween, resulting in the tool bit protruding into the recessed groove,
- a retention member positioned within the recessed groove that exerts a tension force upon the portion of the tool bit protruding into the recessed groove for releasably retaining the tool bits within the base;
- and
- a magnetic member engaged with the base for allowing the base to be removably attached to a metal storage surface for storage.

A bit holder, comprising:
- a cylindrical base having a top portion and a bottom portion with a plurality of spaced-apart, longitudinally oriented bit compartments extending from the top portion and recessed into the base for releasably storing multiple tool bits;
- an attachment mechanism for storing tool bits that are not retained within the cylindrical base;
- a first recessed groove that circumvents the exterior of the base, wherein the recessed groove intersects each longitudinally oriented bit compartment, forming a bore therebetween, resulting in the tool bit protruding into the recessed groove;
- a first retention member positioned within the first recessed groove that exerts a tension force upon the portion of the tool bit protruding into the recessed groove for releasably retaining the tool bits within the base;
- a second recessed groove that circumvents the exterior of the base, wherein the groove intersects each longitudinally oriented bit compartment, forming a bore therebetween, resulting in each tool bit protruding into the recessed groove;
- a second retention member positioned within the second recessed groove that exerts a tension force upon the portion of the tool bit protruding into the recessed groove for releasably retaining the tool bit within the base;
- and
- a magnetic member positioned on the bottom portion of the base for allowing the base to be removably attached to a metal storage surface for storage.
