Abstract

A storage device is designed to keep retrievably the turning parts of a hand tool. The device comprises a base, and a rotating seat mounted rotatably on the base. The base is provided with a plurality of urging blocks, each having at least one inclined face. The rotating seat is provided with a series of retaining slots and insertion slots in communication with the retaining slots. The insertion slots are corresponding in location to the urging blocks. The retaining slots are used for keeping the turning parts of the hand tool. The turning parts are caused to move upward along the inclined faces of the urging blocks so as to jut out of the retaining slots at the time when the rotating seat is turned in relation to the base.
