ABSTRACT:
A hand operated tool includes a tubular casing having an end wall formed with a through hole offset from an axis thereof, and a circumferential wall that extends coaxially from the end wall to form an open end and that confines a receiving space. A mounting axle extends coaxially from the end wall into the receiving space. A cover member is mounted on the circumferential wall and is movable relative thereto between a first position, where the cover member covers the open end, and a second position, where the cover member uncovers the open end. A rod retention tube extends from the cover member outwardly of the receiving space, and is aligned with the through hole in the end wall and is in communication with the receiving space when the cover member is at the first position. A rotary bit retaining member is inserted removably into the receiving space when the cover member is at the second position. The bit retaining member is sleeved rotatably on the mounting axle, and has a plurality of bit retaining holes to receive a plurality of tool bits, respectively. A push rod is slidably disposed in the rod retention tube, and has operating portion that extends outwardly from the rod retention tube and that is operable to force the tool bit in a selected one of the bit retaining holes to extend through the through hole in the end wall.
