a tool bit carrier removably mounted in the compartment, the tool bit carrier carrying at least one tool bit that is releasably held by the tool bit holder; and
a cap releasably attached to the tool bit holder for enclosing the tool bit holder.
In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, a tool combination comprises:
a main body including a compartment defined therein;
an illumination device carrier removably mounted in the compartment;
an illumination device carried by the illumination device carrier for providing illumination; and
a switch for controlling on/off of the illumination device.
In accordance with a third aspect of the invention, a tool combination comprises:
