• and
• a securing mechanism for retaining a drill in said pocket, said securing mechanism including an elastomeric member forming, a securing loop, said securing loop being attached to the exterior surface of said sheath proximate the open top of said pocket at a first attachment point proximate a first side of said pocket, at a second attachment point proximate a second side of said pocket, and at a third attachment point located between said first and second sides of said pocket, said securing loop being free to slide relative to at least two of said first, second and third attachment points, said securing loop being positioned and located below the open top of said pocket when in its neutral unstretched position, and being stretchable to a secured position around a drill positioned within said pocket, the perimeter of said securing loop when in its stretched secured position being greater than the perimeter of said securing loop when in its neutral position.

A drill holster comprising:

• a base member;
• a sheath coupled to said base member defining a pocket between said base member and said sheath for receiving a drill within said pocket, said pocket having an open top portion and a bottom portion;
• an elastomeric member forming a loop, said elastomeric member being attached to the exterior surface of said sheath proximate the open top portion of said pocket, said loop being positioned and located below the open top portion of said pocket when in its neutral, at-rest position, and said loop being stretchable to a secured position around a drill positioned within said pocket, the perimeter of said loop when in its stretched secured position being greater than the perimeter of said loop when in its neutral, at-rest position;
• a foldable flap coupled to said base member, said foldable flap having at least a downward position and being engageable with a loop associated with a garment to which the drill holster is to be attached;
• a first wing member coupled to a first side of said base member, said first wing member overlapping said foldable flap in its downward position when in a first closed position;
• and
• a second wing member coupled to a second side of said base member, said second wing member overlapping said first wing member when in a second closed position;
• wherein said foldable flap includes a first securing mechanism disposed thereon when in its downward position, said first wing member includes a second securing mechanism disposed on one side thereof and a third securing mechanism disposed on its opposite side, and said second wing member includes a fourth securing mechanism disposed on one side thereof, wherein said first securing mechanism matingly engages said second securing mechanism, and said third securing mechanism matingly engages said fourth securing mechanism.
