Abstract
A storage rack includes a casing having opposite front and rear walls, a bottom wall, and a partition plate interconnecting and cooperating with the front and rear walls to define a seat-receiving channel above the partition plate and with the bottom wall to define a retainer-receiving channel below the partition plate. The front wall has a lower section defining an elongated opening in spatial communication with the retainer-receiving channel. A tool-holding seat is removably disposed in the seat-receiving channel, and has a plurality of bit-retention holes extending inwardly from a flat top face thereof for holding tool pieces therein. A plurality of U-shaped retainers are mounted on the lower section of the front wall along the length of the elongated opening, and abut against one another so that each adjacent pair of the retainers can clamp a tool piece therebetween.
