Therefore, the length of the tool exposed on the tool rack can be further reduced, the space occupied by the tool and the whole tool rack is further reduced, and the risk of tool rack toppling caused by mistaken touching of the tool is further reduced.

The plug hole 200 may be increased in size, changed in shape, etc. to increase the size of the tool that can be accommodated in the accommodating space 100. And/or, by changing the material (e.g., elastomer material) of the circumferential structure of the socket 200, the deformability of the socket 200 is increased, so as to increase the size of the tool that can be accommodated in the accommodating space 100.

The portion of the tool received in the receiving space 100 may be suspended from the receiving space 100. The portion of the tool received in the receiving space 100 may also abut against the body assembly 10. At this time, the size of the insert hole 200 does not need to consider whether the body assembly 10 can clamp the tool, and the insert hole 200 may be set to a larger size so that the tool can be obliquely placed on the tool holder, further increasing the length of the tool accommodated in the accommodating space 100.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 1 to 6, the body assembly 10 includes a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12 and a circumferential wall 13, wherein the circumferential wall 13 is connected between the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12 and is detachably connected to at least one of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, and the top plate 11, the bottom plate 12 and the circumferential wall 13 can enclose a housing space 100, so that the tool rack can be conveniently disassembled and maintained, and the housing space 100 can be cleaned.
