Toolbox

Abstract

A toolbox includes a box body defining an accommodation chamber having an open side facing toward the front side of the box body, a cover member covered on the box body and slidable leftwards and rightwards relative to the box body between a close position and an open position, and a swivel tool bit holder pivotally mounted in the box body inside the accommodation chamber and biasable relative to the box body between a storage position and a service position and having multiple tool bit receiving portions for receiving tool bits. The tool bit receiving portions are kept inside the accommodation chamber when the swivel tool bit holder is in the storage position, or exposed to the outside when the swivel tool bit holder is in the service position. Thus, the toolbox has the characteristic of ease of operation and facilitates easy access to the storage items.
