Abstract

A packaging assembly for a drill bit. The packaging assembly includes a front clip with a front side, a rear side opposite the front side, and a drill bit holding region. The drill bit holding region defines a recess with a first channel to receive a portion of the drill bit. The front clip further includes a window extending between the front and rear side to view the drill bit. The window extends away from the drill bit holding region in a longitudinal direction of the front clip. The packaging assembly further includes a back clip that is separate from the front clip. The back clip includes a second channel. The back clip is secured to the front clip to hold the drill bit within the first and second channels.
