  • Patent number: 11964377
    Abstract: A tool arrangement includes a tool management device with a body and a lid which, by a hinge connection, is configured pivotably relative to the body for selectively covering or releasing a receiving space of the body, and a receiving device for receiving tool elements. The receiving device is mounted or mountable in the receiving space of the body such that, by the hinge connection, the receiving device is co-pivoted when the lid is pivoted. The lid is detachable from the hinge connection, such that, after detaching the lid from the hinge connection, the receiving device is pivotable by actuating the hinge connection without the lid.
