Bosch Power Tools set out to design a user-friendly, portable accessory tool case. This modular case system allows customers to build and customize their own sets with the accessories they really need. Different accessory assortments such as screw driver bits, drill bits, drive bits, etc. are bundled in interchangeable inserts. These inserts can be purchased online or in-store along with the empty case. Via a “click-in-feature”, the inserts can be loaded or removed from the case. Each case can hold 4 or 8 different inserts depending on the accessory type and size and whether the case has a clear or solid cover. The case includes a removable hanging tag feature so it can be hung on the wall or stored flat. 

The interchangeable inserts allow the customer to: 
- Create new set variations 
- Replace used products 
- Remove 1 or 2 inserts with accessories for ease of carrying without the need for the entire case 

This system provides a user friendly, portable, customized tool accessory platform that allows for endless options based on the customer’s needs.
