Abstract

A toolbox handle structure includes a chamber and a tool slot, and includes an opening on one end. A receiving tube is movably arranged in the chamber. An inner sleeve is inserted in the receiving tube. A bead-holding recess and a hole are disposed on one side adjacent to the opening. A pressing spring is disposed in the inner sleeve to abut against the pressing set. A bead is disposed in the bead-holding recess and pushed by the pressing set to protrude from the hole and abuts the receiving tube. A pressing set is moved by an external force to make the bead fall into the bead-holding recess to be released from abutting against the receiving tube.
