Abstract
A tool box includes a housing having a chamber for rotatably receiving one or more tool holders each of which is pivotally secured to the housing at a pivot shaft. The tool holders may be used for holding the tool bits or the tool members. One or more springs are engaged with the tool holders for biasing the tool holders to rotate about the pivot shaft and to slightly elevate the tool members such that the tool members may be easily obtained. The tool box may include a cover for enclosing the chamber and for forcing the tool holders inward of the housing.
