About Boss Bit
We provide creative storage solutions for fastening and drill bits, abrasion, cutter, craft knives, and scraper accessories used in hand and electric operated power tools.
The Bit Boss system focuses on the smaller tools where convenient storage and bit holding options have been limited. Usually, small bits are stored within another container with little organization.
We are a direct manufacture and could customize a solution for larger consumers. Email sales@guardiaindustries.com with a request.
Our precision knife organizer started filling a void in the hobby crafts area but soon expanded to industrial and healthcare industries where there was a need to have a safer and more efficient method to working with and docking of precision instruments like scalpels and X-ACTO knives.

Title: Docking and storage device for safe handling of scalpels, X-ACTO precision cutting knives
Abstract:
The present invention introduces a device designed for the secure docking, storage, and handling of precision knife instruments with non-retractable blades which include scalpels and X-ACTO knives. The device allows the user to safely and efficiently dock the knife, submerging the blade into foam layers to prevent harm to users and bystanders and to disinfect the blade, if desired. By keeping the precision knife handle upright and exposed, the device minimizes the risk of accidental cuts during retrieval, offering a one-handed operation and eliminating the need for close proximity to the blade. Additionally, the device facilitates the application of disinfection liquids, such as isopropyl alcohol, to sanitize the blade upon insertion. The invention addresses the safety and ease of use of sharp precision cutting knives in various settings, including healthcare, laboratories, and other work environments where precision instruments are utilized.
Background of the Invention:
The present invention relates to the field of precision tool management and organization. Specifically, it addresses the storage, organization, and accessibility of sharp-edged instruments, focusing on scalpels and X-ACTO knives. This invention is designed to provide a secure and efficient docking and storage solution for such tools, catering to professionals in diverse fields, including but not limited to healthcare, electronic component manufacturing, industrial assemblies, arts and crafts, and other precision-oriented tasks. The device offers a systematic approach to enhance safety, accessibility, and overall workflow efficiency in environments where precision cutting tools are utilized. Handling sharp, non-retractable knife blades on precision cutting instruments such as found on scalpels and X-ACTO knives, poses a safety risk, particularly in fast-paced work environments such as healthcare, electronics manufacturing, and industrial workplaces. Existing safety solutions, like protectors or covers attached to the instrument, often require purchasing specific knives with built-in safety features. Foldable and retractable precision knives provide alternative options but may not offer the same level of safety or ease of use. Previous inventions focused on safe storage but did not address the easy retrieval of precision knives nor a convenient method for disinfecting the blade portion. The present invention aims to combine safe storage with the convenience of upright, exposed knife handles, enabling single-handed operation and promoting safer use of sharp cutting instruments in various professional and hobbyist settings.
Brief summary of the invention
The invention is a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance the safety and convenience of handling non-retractable blade precision knives, such as scalpels and X-ACTO knives. This invention features a secure docking mechanism with a protective foam layer, allowing users to safely store and retrieve knives while keeping the blades submerged. Allowing for upright and exposed knife handle design minimizes the risk of accidental cuts during retrieval, enabling one-handed operation and eliminating the need for close proximity to the blade. Additionally, the novel invention facilitates the application of disinfectants for blade sanitation, making it suitable for various settings, including healthcare and laboratories. The device’s innovative design addresses the challenges associated with the safe handling, docking, and storage of precision knives in fast-paced work environments, making it a valuable tool for professionals and hobbyists alike.
