ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for a variety of tools such as Allen wrenches, screw drivers, Philips drivers, twist drills, taps, etc. A multiplicity of tools, or different sized tools, are mounted on a single tool handle. The cylindrical handle is provided with a central axial socket member having a central axial opening. Extending from the front edge rearwardly, the handle has a plurality of circumferentially spaced, parallel, grooves. Each tool comprises a base portion adapted to fit into the axial opening of the socket member. Various methods may be used to lock the tool against rotation, such as five or six sides, tapers, keyways, etc. The elongated tool member extends axially from the base portion. Each base portion is mounted in a loop holder which is hinged on a short wire support having elongated spaced parallel wire arms extending at right angles from the short wire portion. Each tool is mounted in its groove by inserting the elongated wire arms into the groove. The wire is slidable in the groove and provision is made to prevent its pulling out. In this position, the tool can be pivoted to align with the axial opening and can be pushed into the opening to lock in place. To remove the tool, it can be pulled from the opening and pivoted into its groove and then pushed out of the way.
