ABSTRACT:
A bit holder comprises a body defining at least one cavity. The cavity includes a first pathway for receiving a bit and a second pathway for holding a bit. The first and second pathways intersect to define an open area between the first pathway and the second pathway such that a bit can be rotated between the first pathway and to a locked position in second pathway. The first pathway is disposed at an angle relative to the second pathway. The bit is retained by an interference fit with the body. The holder may be releasably retained in a case using mating structures on the case and holder. In a method for retaining a bit in a holder, the bit is inserted into the holder along the first pathway. The bit is rotated through the open area to position the bit in the second pathway where it is held.
