This invention relates to improvements in wrench set units or holders for sets of double ended open end wrenches of that sort which have open jaws at opposite ends connected by an elongated shank or handle, the improved holder being particularly desirable for a set of tappet wrenches of this type. These tappet wrenches are ordinarily relatively thin and of substantially equal length, the different wrenches- being provided with jaw openings of appropriate sizes for turning different sized nuts or bolts. One object of the invention is to provide such a wrench set unit in which the wrenches are retained in order, side by side, in a holder which is constructed so as to releasably retain the wrenches in place and prevent accidental displacement of the wrenches while, nevertheless, permitting one or more of the wrenches to be readily removed without disturbing or displacing any of the remaining wrenches. Other objects of the invention are to provide a holder for a, set of wrenches which is of simple and inexpensive construction but which will securely retain the several wrenches of the set in the intended order and position and prevent the displacement of the wrenches in the handling or use of the holder or set, also to provide a desirable, inexpensive holder for wrenches which will hold the same out of contact with the bench or supporting surface on which the holder or set may be laid and thus prevent the wrenches from being dislodged or shifted by contact with the supporting surface; also to provide a holder for a set of wrenches which will positively prevent the shifting of the wrenches in the holder either lengthwise or laterally in the handling of the set; also to provide a holder having seats or parts which separately hold the several wrenches in the intended positions in the holder and which holder is provided with a releasable retaining member which positively secures the wrenches in the holder and prevents the removal of the wrenches except by first releasing said retaining member; also to provide a simple reliable fastening .or securing device for said releasable retaining member; and also to provide a wrench set unit or wrench set holder having the other features of improvement and advantage hereinafter described and set forth in the claims.
