At least one of the wall and the base include a plurality of first retaining features. The insert is operable to retain at least one tool. The insert has a surface with a plurality of second retaining features operable to cooperate with the first retaining features to secure the insert at one of a variety of positions within the housing members. The insert includes an elastomeric portion operable to engage and retain the tool.
