The invention relates to a case for holding elongate objects, in particular, drills or other tools, comprising a housing shell and a lid hinged pivotably thereto via a hinge and at least two pivotableholding parts which while the case is closed are pivoted inward into the interior, while they are pivoted outward out of the said interior when the lid is being opened, wherein only the holding partclose to the lid is mounted in a pivoting axis in the housing shell of the case, while the at least one additional holding part disposed in front of the holding part closest to the lid is detachably connected to the respective closest holding part. The advantage lies in the fact that the case can be modularly expanded, that the manipulation is improved, and that the manufacturing cost is reduced.
