  • Patent number: 10500711
    Abstract: A merchandise product includes a tool bit case having first and second housing members. The tool bit case also includes a first modular tool bit holder and a second modular tool bit holder each movably coupled to the first housing member. The merchandise product includes a clamshell packaging having a front clamshell portion defining a first cavity and a rear clamshell portion defining a second cavity. The front clamshell portion is coupled to the rear clamshell portion at an interface. The interface defines a plane between the front clamshell portion and the rear clamshell portion. The first cavity and the second cavity contain the tool bit case while the tool bit case is in an open position. A first portion of the tool bit case extends beyond the plane in a first direction, and a second portion of the tool bit case extends beyond the plane in a second direction.

  • Patent number: 9694489
    Abstract: A tool bit case includes a first housing member and a second housing member pivotally coupled together. Each housing member includes a base and sidewalls extending from the base. The tool bit case also includes a plurality of retainers located along opposing sidewalls of the first housing member. The tool bit case further includes a modular tool bit holder that is engageable with a corresponding pair of retainers of the plurality of retainers. The modular tool bit holder is pivotable relative to the first housing member between a storage position and an upright position. When the modular tool bit holder is in the storage position, the modular tool bit holder blocks access to at least one retainer adjacent the corresponding pair of retainers, and when the modular tool bit holder is in the upright position, the at least one retainer is accessible.
