wherein the pressing member includes a pressing portion, a stud and an orifice formed on the top of the receiving portion, with the stud coupled to the bottom of the pressing portion and corresponding to the orifice; wherein when the pressing member is in the original position, the stud does not engage with the orifice; wherein when the pressing member is in the actuating position, the pressing portion is pressed for driving the stud to insert through the orifice as to push the second driving tool to detach from the receiving portion of the third compartment.

2. The tool box as claimed in claim 1 wherein the first, second and third compartments are opened to the bottom of the casing means and respectively have openings on the bottom of the casing means so that the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools are able to detach from the casing means without taking apart the casing means.

3. The tool box as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an elastic rim integrally formed with the pressing portion and the top of the receiving portion and allowing the pressing member to return to the original position from the actuating position.

4. The tool box as claimed in claim 2 further comprising first, second and third through holes formed on the side wall of the first casing shell above the first, second and third compartments, respectively, so that while the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools are clamped in the casing means, parts of the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools are exposed from the first, second and third through holes; wherein user's finger can insert into the first, second and third through holes from outside of the first casing shell to detach the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools from the openings of the casing means.

5. The tool box as claimed in claim 2 further comprising a hook provided on the inner wall of the first compartment and proximal to the bottom edge of the first casing shell as to securely clamp the bits seat body in the first compartment.

6. A tool box adapted for storing a driving tool therein, the tool box comprising:

a casing means including a compartment adapted for receiving the driving tool;

wherein the compartment further includes a pressing member and a receiving portion below the pressing member and adapted to clamp the driving tool; wherein the pressing member is movable between an original position and an actuating position; wherein while the pressing member is in the actuating position, the driving tool is driven to detach from the casing means;

wherein the tool box is adapted for storing a bits seat body and first and second driving tools therein; wherein the casing means including first, second and third compartments adapted for receiving the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools, respectively, with the pressing member and the receiving portion defined at the third compartment;

wherein the casing means consists of first and second casing shells, with the bits seat body and the first and second driving tools sandwiched by the first and second casing shells and parallel to each other;

a ratchet wheel unit set at and exposed from the casing means and movable between a storage position and a detachment position; and

a first receptacle defined on the inner wall of the first casing shell and including a fixed projection protruding from the center thereof, a second receptacle defined at the second casing shell and including a through-hole corresponding to the first receptacle, wherein the ratchet wheel unit has a ratchet wheel member and a through-hole, and when the ratchet wheel unit is in the storage position, the ratchet wheel member is inserted through the through-hole of the second receptacle and the through-hole of the ratchet wheel unit is inserted by the fixed projection.

7. The tool box as claimed in claim 6 further comprising two blocking studs set on the periphery of the second receptacle inside of the casing means and a pressing plate disposed on the outer wall of the second casing shell and abutted with the periphery of the second receptacle opposite to the blocking studs, with the pressing plate 16 defining a gripping edge proximal to the through-hole; wherein when the ratchet wheel unit is in the storage position, the ratchet wheel member are respectively restricted by the gripping end and the blocking studs.

8. The tool box as claimed in claim 7 wherein the pressing plate further includes a pressing edge opposite to the gripping edge; wherein when the ratchet wheel unit is desired to detach from the casing means, user has to press the pressing edge of the pressing plate toward the casing means as to drive the gripping edge to detach from the ratchet wheel member.

9. The tool box as claimed in claim 6 wherein the ratchet wheel member further includes an polygonal inner periphery, with a cooperation of the hexagonal fixed projection and the polygonal inner periphery preventing the ratchet wheel member from rotating with respect to the casing means.

10. A tool box comprising:

a casing means which consists of first and second casing shells including a first receptacle defined on the inner wall of the first casing shell, a second receptacle defined at the second casing shell and including a through-hole corresponding to the first receptacle and a pressing plate disposed on the outer wall of the second casing shell and abutted with the periphery of the second receptacle; and

a ratchet wheel unit, which is set at and exposed from the casing means, including a ratchet wheel member and moveable between storage and detachment positions by operating the pressing plate;

wherein when the ratchet wheel unit is in the storage position, the ratchet wheel member is inserted through the through-hole of the second receptacle and fixed to the first receptacle.

11. The tool box as claimed in claim 10 wherein the tool box is adapted for storing a bits seat body and first and second driving tools therein; wherein the casing means including first, second and third compartments adapted for receiving the bit seat body and the first and second driving tools, respectively, with the pressing member and the receiving portion defined at the third compartment.

12. The tool box as claimed in claim 11 wherein the third compartment further includes a pressing member and a receiving portion below the pressing member and adapted to clamp the second driving tool; wherein the pressing member is movable between an original position and an actuating position; wherein while the pressing member is in the actuating position, the second driving tool is driven to detach from the casing means.
