ABSTRACT:
A multifunctional pocket tool, for example a Swiss army knife, folding pen knife or knife-pliers, has at least one retractable implement and includes removable screwing attachments, for example Phillips attachments, flat screwdrivers, socket wrench or socket keys or corkscrews, which can be fixed perpendicularly to one of the lateral faces of the tool. The attachments are preferably attached by using a hexagonal opening in one side of the tool. The location of the opening is selected so as not to impede the manipulation of other implements. In one variant, a ratchet is integrated in the pocket tool. The ratchet is not reversible, but the attachments can be attached by using the two sides of the ratchet. A handle, serving normally to operate another implement, also enables operation of the ratchet. A removable adapter can be placed on a little screwdriver for fixing other removable screwing attachments.
