A tool container (20, 520, 620) has a pair of clamshell housing members (22, 24, 422, 424) hingedly coupled to be moved between opened and closed positions. At least one of the members (22, 24, 422, 424) defines a cavity defined by a base (42, 44, 442, 444) and a wall (58, 60, 62, 64, 458, 460, 462,
A tool container (20, 520, 620) has a pair of clamshell housing members (22, 24, 422, 424) hingedly coupled to be moved between opened and closed positions. At least one of the members (22, 24, 422, 424) defines a cavity defined by a base (42, 44, 442, 444) and a wall (58, 60, 62, 64, 458, 460, 462, 464) extending from the base (42, 44, 442, 444), and a two-retaining insert (32, 34, 36, 37, 431, 433) is provided in the cavity. The insert (32, 34, 36, 37, 431, 433) and wall (58, 60, 62, 64, 458, 460, 462, 464) include alternating complementary dovetail tenons (74, 132, 474, 532) and recesses (76, 134, 476, 534) secure a tool-retaining insert in the cavity of the housing member (22, 24, 422, 424). The tool-retaining insert (32, 34, 36, 37, 431, 433) includes a number of tool-receiving recesses (120, 520, 620) therein with tool-receiving cradles (152, 552, 652) and various alternate retaining finger arrangements (124, 524, 525, 624) being provided for releasably retaining elongated tools (170, 570, 670) therein and for facilitating the ease of their removal. Such alternate arrangements including opposed pairs of tool-retaining fingers (124, 524, 525, 624) and split finger (624) configurations. A latch mechanism (28, 428) is included to releasably lock the pair of housing members (22, 24, 422, 424) in their closed position.
