Abstract
A holder for Allen wrenches or other L-shaped tools formed by a cylindrical body having an array of lengthwise grooves of graduated sizes distributed about its circumference each receiving one of a set of Allen wrenches. A radial hole extending into each groove receives the short end of the respective Allen wrench, which is gripped by a corresponding groove in an elastomeric plug fixed to one end of the holder body. The long end sections of the wrenches project beyond the end of the holder in a circular array, exposed to allow a size fit trial with a socket to be wrenched.
