Abstract
Abstract A spanner holder includes a plate member and a plurality of pairs of retaining members. The plate member has a front face and two opposite sides. The retaining members in each pair are formed on the front face at the opposite sides of the plate member and are aligned with one another. Each of the retaining members has a spring plate which extends from the front face. The spring plate has a distal edge which is connected to an intermediate portion of a top plate. The top plate is substantially parallel to the front face and has an abutting portion and a connecting portion which are formed at two sides of the intermediate portion of the top plate. The connecting portion has a press plate which extends downward and which is substantially parallel to the spring plate so that a receiving space is formed between the press plate and the spring plate of an adjacent retaining member.
