Abstract: A case for a power tool is provided that has a pathway about the periphery thereof in which a power cord for the tool can be held. Preferably, the body of the tool is held in a cavity in the case and the power cord pathway extends around the cavity. The pathway can be of a depth sufficient to allow the cord to be wrapped over itself therein so that long power cords can be held in the pathway of the case. The power cord is held in the case by an interference or press fit therein so that it securely stays in place during transport of the case. Accordingly, the present case provides a well-defined location in which a power cord for a tool can be placed vis-a-vis peripheral pathway thereof in an efficient, space-saving manner.
