French translation:porte-outil à baïonnette
Explanation:
So literal, I'm sure you could have worked that out for yourself!

But I just wanted to say that it may be difficult to find the right term unless you know it it is a 'holder' for 'bayonet tools', or a 'bayonet holder' for 'tools' — in a cryptic extract like this, the word order is ambiguous, and it just MIGHT make a difference!

neutral  Tony M: Concerned that this makes it sound like a light socket, or else, as if the 'douille' is the 'tool' itself (cf. socket set = clés à douilles)
