1. A tool holder comprising a first base comprising at least one first restraint extending from the first base that is adapted to engage a first side of a tool and that is adapted to not engage a second side of the tool; anda second base that is adapted to slidably engage the first base, the second base comprising at least one second restraint extending from the second base that is adapted to slidably engage a second side of the tool when the tool is disposed between the first restraint and the second movable restraintwherein the tool is held only by the at least one first restraint and the at least one second movable restraint and wherein each of the first base and second base further comprises one or more apertures and a locking mechanism insertable into at least one aperture and the locking mechanism to lockedly engage the first and second bases. 2. The tool holder of claim 1, wherein the first base comprises two or more first restraints extending from the first base and wherein the second base comprises two or more second restraints extending from the second base. 3. The tool holder of claim 2, wherein the two or more first restraints differ in size from another first restraint to engage tools of different sizes or the two or more second restraints differ in size from other second restraints to engage tools of different sizes, or both. 4. The tool holder of claim 1, wherein the first restraints are aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base and equidistant in relation to one another, non-equidistant in relation to each other or staggered in relation to one another. 5. The tool holder of claim 1, wherein the first, second or both restraints form an angle of between about 30 degrees and about 150 degrees from a horizontal axis of the base. 6. The tool holder of claim 1, wherein the first restraints are metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable and the one or more second restraints are metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable. 7. The tool holder of claim 1, wherein the first base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof, and the second base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof. 8. A method for holding one or more tools, comprising: providing a first base having at least one first restraint extending from the first base that is adapted to engage a first side of a tool and that is adapted to not engage a second side of the tool and at least one second base comprising at least one second movable restraint extending from the second base that is adapted to slidably engage a second side of the tool;slidably engaging the tool between the at least one first restraint and the at least one second movable restraint; andholding the tool only by the at least once first restraint and the at least one second movable restraint and wherein each of the first base and second base further comprises one or more apertures and the method further comprises the steps of inserting a locking mechanism into at least one aperture and rotating the locking mechanism to lockedly engage the first and second bases. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: rotating the locking mechanism whereby allowing sliding between the base and a cam, wherein the rotation moves the first and second restraints in relation to each other, thereby engaging or disengaging a tool held thereby. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the first base comprises two or more first restraints extending from the first base and wherein the second base comprises two or more second restraints extending from the second base. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the two or more first restraints differ in size from another first restraint to engage tools of different sizes or the two or more second restraints differ in size from other second restraints to engage tools of different sizes, or both. 12. The method of claim 8, wherein the first restraints are aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base and equidistant in relation to one another, non-equidistant in relation to each other or staggered in relation to one another. 13. The method of claim 8, wherein the first, second or both restraints form an angle of between about 30 degrees and about 150 degrees from a horizontal axis of the base. 14. The method of claim 8, wherein the first restraints are metallic, non\-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable and the one or more second restraints are metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof. 15. The method of claim 8, wherein the first base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable and the second base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof. 16. A tool holder comprising: a first base comprising two or more first restraints extending from the first base wherein the two or more first restraints are adapted to engage a first side of a tool and are adapted to not engage a second side of the tool; anda second base that is adapted to slidably engage the first base, the second base comprising one or more second restraints extending from the second base that are adapted to slidably engage a second side of the tool when the tool is disposed between a first restraint and a second restraint,wherein the first and second bases are adapted to slide in relation to each other and the first and second restraints are capable of mechanically holding a tool when the first and second restraints are brought into proximity, and wherein the tool is held only by the first and second restraints and wherein each of the first base and second base further comprises one or more apertures and a locking mechanism insertable into at least one aperture and the locking mechanism to lockedly engage the first and second bases. 17. The tool holder of claim 16, wherein the first restraint, second restraint or both the first and second restraints further comprise a pad. 18. The tool holder of claim 16, wherein the two or more first restraints differ in size from another first restraint to engage tools of different sizes or two or more second restraints differ in size from other second restraints to engage tools of different sizes, or both. 19. The tool holder of claim 16, wherein the first restraints are aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base and equidistant in relation to one another, non-equidistant in relation to each other or staggered in relation to one another. 20. The tool holder of claim 16, wherein the first restraints are metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable and the one or more second restraints are metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof. 21. The tool holder of claim 16, wherein the first base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable and the second base is metallic, non-metallic, magnetic, non-magnetic, elastomeric, non-elastomeric, malleable, non-malleable or combinations thereof.
