Abstract
A kit of medical tools for removing screws from a patient in surgical procedures, including both the kit and the method of arranging the kit and its bits and tools. There are two removable trays in a container, one for the bits and one for the tools, and the trays stack upon the other in the container. Corresponding indicia are on both the bits and the supporting trays so the bits can be organized and readily selected by the surgeon, and an abutment aligns the bits in resilient grippers on the bit tray.
