Patent ID: 8517173

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a case having a retaining portion; and a hand tool having a working end and a handle with a longitudinal portion perpendicular to the working end and spaced apart a fixed distance from the working end, the hand tool having a ratcheting mechanism with a working axis, wherein the working axis extends between the working end and the longitudinal portion of the handle and through the ratcheting mechanism, wherein the longitudinal portion of the handle is perpendicular to the working axis, wherein the handle projects from the case to form a handle for the case, and the case engages the hand tool such that the hand tool is prevented from being removed from the case while simultaneously, the retaining portion engages the working end of hand tool so that the handle can be rotated around the working axis and with respect to the case to test a rotational ratcheting function of the hand tool, wherein the handle remains spaced apart a fixed distance from the working end while the rotational ratcheting function of the hand tool is being tested.
