Abstract

A toolset organizer for organizing box-end wrenches includes a multiple of connectors each comprising a male polygon section connector body adjacent to a flange along an axis, each male polygon section connector body different in size, each of the multiple of connectors at least partially receivable into another of the multiple of connectors along the axis; and a cylindrical section that extends from the male polygon section connector body along the axis of each of the multiple of connectors, the cylindrical section contains a first magnet such that the cylindrical section receivable into an opening through the flange and at least partially into the male polygon section connector body of only one of the multiple of connectors that each respectively contains a magnet to provide a magnetic interface that at least partially retains the multiple of connectors one to another.

Claims (13)

1 . A toolset organizer for organizing box-end wrenches, the toolset organizer comprising:

a multiple of connectors each comprising a male polygon section connector body adjacent to a flange along an axis, each male polygon section connector body different in size, each of the multiple of connectors at least partially receivable into another of the multiple of connectors along the axis; and

a cylindrical section that extends from the male polygon section connector body along the axis of each of the multiple of connectors, the cylindrical section contains a first magnet such that the cylindrical section receivable into an opening through the flange and at least partially into the male polygon section connector body of only one of the multiple of connectors that each respectively contains a magnet to provide a magnetic interface that at least partially retains the multiple of connectors one to another.

2 . The toolset organizer as recited in claim 1 , wherein each male polygon section connector body comprises a hexagon different in size to receive only a single respective box-end wrench.

3 . The toolset organizer as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the multiple of connectors are independently rotatable about the axis relative to the other of the multiple of connectors.

4 . The toolset organizer as recited in claim 1 , further comprising ridges on each cylindrical section.

5 . A first connector of a toolset organizer for organizing box-end wrenches, comprising:

a first male polygon section connector body along an axis, the first male polygon section connector body sized to receive a first box-end wrench;

a first flange along the axis adjacent to the first male polygon section connector body, the first flange of diameter greater than that of the first male polygon section connector body;

a first cylindrical section that extends from the first male polygon section connector body along the axis;

an opening formed through the first flange and at least partially into the first male polygon section connector body to define a female connector portion opening to receive a second connector which comprises a second male polygon section connector body sized to receive a second box-end wrench of a size different than the first box-end wrench; wherein the first cylindrical section comprises cylindrical ridges; and wherein the first cylindrical section is sized to fit within an opening formed through a second flange and at least partially into the second male polygon section connector body of the second connector along the axis.

6 . The first connector as recited in claim 5 , wherein the opening formed through the second flange and at least partially into the second male polygon section connector body of the second connector comprises cylindrical ridges to facilitate retention with the first cylindrical section along the axis.

7 . The first connector as recited in claim 5 , wherein the first cylindrical section contains a magnet.
