ABSTRACT:
A device which contains a combination of a writing implement or turning tool on one end and a turning tool on the other. The device contains a hollow casing, a forward end tip containing a central passageway for extension and retraction of the writing implement or turning tool on one end of the casing and a rearward tip containing a central passageway for the extension and retraction of the turning tool rod at the other end of the casing. The turning tool may be a Phillips head screw driver, a flat head screwdriver, a torx, or an Allen wrench. The turning tool rod is reversible and contains, e.g., a flat head screwdriver on one end and a Phillips head screwdriver on the other end. The device contains a slideable extension/retraction mechanism which allows only the writing implement, only the tool rod, or neither of these to be exposed at any one time. The tool rod is prevented from turning relative to the casing. Thus, the end tip is securely fastened to the casing and the central passageway is of a non-circular shape. The tool rod is of the same shape as the central passageway. Alternatively, the device contains forward and rearward extension/retraction slots allowing independent control of the forward and rearward mechanisms. A pocket clip may be attached to the casing. The purpose of the device is to combine two commonly used implements in one convenient, easy-to-use unit, thus eliminating the need to carry two or more separate implements.
