Abstract

A tool display rack includes a body having a box-shaped space defined therein and a pivotal plate is pivotably connected to the lower portion of the back board of the rack. The pivotal plate is pivotable outward to form a larger insertion entrance so as to accommodate the tool. Multiple positioning holes are defined in the front side of the body for positioning the tools. The pivotal plate has two studs extending from the inside thereof and the studs are engaged with two locking slots in the body so as to prevent the tool from dropping from the rack. When picking the tool, the studs are cut to pivot the pivotal plate and the tool can be picked out. The tool display rack is safe for the tool and suitable for display purpose.
