ABSTRACT:
A talking tool holder provides an audio message in response to a user selection that indicates the size of the tool the user has selected. The talking tool holder includes a housing with multiple uniquely-sized tool-receiving locations, with a corresponding sensor for each tool-receiving location. The unique size of each tool-receiving location aids a user in putting the corresponding tools back in their proper locations. When a user needs a tool, the user actuates with a finger a sensor in proximity to a tool-receiving location. In response, an audio mechanism plays an audio message corresponding to the tool-receiving location selected by the user, such as an indication of size or type of tool for the selected tool-receiving location. In this manner, a user may receive audio messages for selected tools in the tool holder that indicate size or type of the tool corresponding to the tool-receiving location.
