ABSTRACT:
The foldable driver tool having a handle with an outer wall and a plurality of pockets in the outer wall with each pocket adapted to receive a driver. The driver has a bit portion, a shaft portion and a rear portion. The handle has a head assembly at one end which is made up of a plurality of spaced extensions extending from the outer wall. The spaced extensions form spaces therebetween which are coextensive with the pockets. A front cap having a front wall and a skirt extending rearwardly therefrom is mounted over the head assembly so that the skirt overlies the spaced extensions. A slot is provided in the front wall and an opening is provided in the skirt with the two being coextensive with each other. The front cap is rotatable relative to the head assembly so that the slot and opening are moved into alignment with a space in the head assembly to permit the shaft portion of a driver in a pocket to move out of the pocket in a circular motion and to pass through the space, the opening and the slot to an extended position with the shaft portion of the driver extending through the slot in the front wall. The driver being in its extended position and locked in place to prevent a driver from coming out of the slot.
