The locking member (116, 116') is adapted to facilitate removable coupling of the implement (150) and the handle (112, 112') together. The tool holder (100, 100') holding the tool (110, 110') includes a body (101) defining at least one cavity (130, 130'). The at least one cavity (130, 130') is adapted to house the handle (112, 112'). The tool holder (100, 100') defines a longitudinal axis (X-X') and each of the at least one cavity (130, 130') defines a central axis (Y-Y') such that the longitudinal axis (X-X') is perpendicular to the central axis (Y-Y'). The tool holder (100, 100') is characterized in that the at least one cavity (130, 130') is adapted to store the handle (112, 112') by having the locking member (116, 116') removably inserted therein such that at least part of the handle (112, 112') extends along the longitudinal axis (X-X') below the at least one cavity (130, 130').
