Abstract

Abstract Holders for tools, such as cutters for machine tools, support the tools when they are not in use, for example in a store or for setting or grinding. The holder comprises a number of blocks (10) having holes (12) or tool shanks, two end members (14), and two bolts (16) running through the blocks (10) for securing the blocks (10) and making them integral with the end members (14). The blocks (10) may be of standard dimensions to fit between the beams of a rack, but they may also be of various widths and provided with more than one hole (12). The end members (14) are each provided with a handle (32) comprising an aperture moulded in an upper part, and have two legs (34) to make them free standing and stackable. The end members (14) have a number of recesses (36) at the top for the legs (34) of adjacent holders in a stack.
