A case for holding and displaying a hand tool at a point of sale, the case comprising: two covers that pivot with respect to each other between an open and closed position; and two opposed handle portions positioned on opposite sides of the case and projecting upward from the case a sufficient distance above an upper mating edge of the covers to create an opening for a user to wrap the user's fingers around at least one of the opposed handle portions and the fingers are positioned above the upper mating edge of the covers, and a generally T-shaped hand tool is positioned within the case, a projecting portion of a handle of the hand tool fits together with the two opposed handle portions to form a generally continuous handle for the case, wherein the handle can be rotated by the user to test a selective one-way rotational ratcheting function of the hand tool while simultaneously, the hand tool is prevented from being removed from the case.
