ABSTRACT:
The case has a molded plastic card member, and a lid specifically configured to mate with the card member to define an enclosed area. The lid is connected to the card member by a hinge adjacent one edge thereof so as to be foldable between an open position away from the card member, and a closed position against the card member to define the enclosed area. The card member and the lid preferably each have tabs extending from side edges opposite the hinge, each tab having a hole generally alignable with a corresponding hole in the other tab, for the installing of a closure such as a thick plastic loop not generally severable without a tool. The card member and lid define between them a number of openings through the enclosed area particularly sized for portions of tool components and/or extra tool components to extend therethrough generally parallel to the card member, for visibility and preferably manipulation, without it being possible to remove them as long as the case is closed. At least one of the enclosed area and an area of the card member outside the enclosed area have tool components and/or extra tool components receivers configured such that removal of a tool component and/or extra tool components through the openings from the enclosed area is prevented when the lid is in the closed position, by a wall of a recess, or by a raised stop or the like.
