1. A system for storing a device having an elongated shaft and a shank portion, said system comprising a body portion and a cover portion, wherein: said body portion generally cylindrical in shape defining a first circumference having a first center axis, said generally cylindrical body portion comprising an open top portion, a closed bottom portion, and a sidewall portion extending between said open top portion and said closed bottom portion, said sidewall portion defining an opening there-through extending from said open top end portion towards said closed bottom end portion, andsaid cover portion having a generally open-ring shape defining a second circumference having a second center axis, said second circumference larger than said first circumference, said cover portion slid onto said body portion thereby circumscribing said body portion with said second center axis aligned with said first center axis, said cover portion having an open position and a closed position, said cover portion closing at least a portion of said opening when in said closed position, said cover portion spaced apart from said opening when in said open position. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said cover portion comprises a plurality of cover portions, wherein each of said plurality of cover portions close at least a portion of said opening when in said closed position. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein said cover portion is configured to rotate concentrically around the body portion. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein said sidewall portion is generally circular in shape vertically below said opening, and generally arc-shaped vertically along said opening's vertical height. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said system further comprises a support element for supporting the body portion, said support element connecting to said bottom portion of said body portion, said support element extending away from said bottom portion. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising a back plate connecting with said support element. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein said body portion further comprises a horizontal shaft spacer portion adjacent said open top end portion. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said horizontal shaft spacer portion comprises shaft engaging means configured for receiving and retaining the shank portion of an elongated shaft. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein said horizontal shaft spacer portion comprises a series of retainer modules, each retainer module comprising an upper retainer, a bottom retainer, and a compressible planar disc received between said upper retainer and said bottom retainer. 10. The system of claim 1 further comprising: said sidewall portion comprising an interior sidewall surface, said closed bottom portion comprising an interior base surface, said interior base surface comprising an upwardly extending a center spacer portion, said center spacer portion having a center surface, said center surface spaced apart from said interior sidewall surface and defining a retention channel there-between,wherein said end portion can be inserted into said body portion and into said retention channel, held spaced apart from and above the closed bottom by a friction fit between the interior sidewall surface and said center surface. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein said center spacer portion has a generally curved cross-sectional shape, a generally conical cross-sectional shape, or a generally frustoconical cross-sectional shape. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein said system further comprises a support element and a back plate, said support element for supporting the body portion, said support element connecting to said closed bottom portion, said support element extending away from said closed bottom portion, and said back plate connecting with said support element. 13. The system of claim 10, wherein the end portion has a diameter, wherein the diameter of the end portion defines the distance said end portion is held spaced apart from and above the closed bottom portion. 14. A system for storing a device having an elongated shaft and a shank portion, said system comprising a body portion and a cover portion, wherein: said body portion generally cylindrical in shape, said body portion comprising a closed bottom end portion connected to an open top end portion via a sidewall portion, said sidewall portion defining an opening there-through extending from said open top end portion towards said closed bottom end portion, andsaid body portion generally cylindrical in shape defining a first circumference having a first center axis, said generally cylindrical body portion comprising an open top portion, a closed bottom portion, and a sidewall portion extending between said open top portion and said closed bottom portion, said sidewall portion defining an opening there-through extending from said open top end portion towards said closed bottom end portion, andsaid cover portion having a generally open-ring shape defining a second circumference having a second center axis, said second circumference larger than said first circumference, said cover portion slid onto said body portion thereby circumscribing said body portion with said second center axis aligned with said first center axis, said cover portion having an open position and a closed position, said cover portion closing at least a portion of said opening when in said closed position, said cover portion spaced apart from said opening when in said open position,wherein the cover portion is arranged concentric to the body portion so that the cover portion is configured to rotate concentrically relative to the body portion; wherein said body portion further comprises a horizontal shaft spacer portion adjacent said open top end portion; wherein said horizontal shaft spacer portion comprises shaft engaging means configured for receiving and retaining the shank portion of an elongated shaft; and wherein said horizontal shaft spacer portion comprises a series of retainer modules, each retainer module comprising an upper retainer, a bottom retainer, and a compressible planar disc received between said upper retainer and said bottom retainer.
