ABSTRACT:
A tool holder and tools combination includes a base including a first end and a second end. A head is formed on the second end of the base and includes a first compartment for receiving spare tools and a second compartment for receiving a service tool when not in use. Each of the tools includes an end having an engaging hole and a slit extended from the engaging hole to an end edge of the tool. A fixing seat is pivotally mounted to the head and includes a groove for securely holding the end of the service tool. The fixing seat includes a transverse hole having a first part that slidably receives a latch member and a second part that slidably receives a push pin, while the engaging hole of the service tool locates between the first part and the second part. The push pin has a first end secured to the latch member to move therewith and a second end for manual operation. The engaging hole of each tool is sized to be smaller than a diameter of the latch member and greater than a diameter of the push pin. A spring is provided for biasing the latch member to a position received in the engaging hole of the service tool, thereby preventing removal of the service tool. The push pin is manually operable to cause the latch member out of the engaging hole of the service tool, thereby allowing removal of the service tool from the fixing seat.
