The upper hoop ring 622 and the lower hoop ring 624 have the same width, and the length of the lower hoop ring 624 is two-thirds of the length of the upper hoop ring 622. The ends of the upper hoop ring 622 and the lower hoop ring 624 that are close to the backing plate 621 are aligned vertically. This design allows the pliers to be fixed at an angle, making them easy to pick up and put away.

[0034] To facilitate the placement of the screwdriver, the screwdriver holder 603 includes a base 631 fixed to the bottom of the first basket 601. Several upright poles 632 are installed side by side on the base 631. C-shaped hanging rings 633 are installed on both sides of the top of the poles 632. There are two hanging rings 633 on each side of the top of the poles 632, and they are arranged in an up-down arrangement. The diameter of the hanging ring 633 at the bottom is smaller than that of the hanging ring 633 at the top. The screwdriver handle structure design is used to achieve vertical suspension and fixation of the screwdriver.
