ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
The present invention relates to a pick-up tool and more particularly to an improved pickup tool which is adapted to pick-up nails, screws, bolts, etc. and which is also adapted to be used as some other workpiece, such as a screwdriver.
Pick-up tools are used to pick-up nails, screws, bolts etc. from certain areas, such as cavities or holes in the ground or other places. They usually utilize an extendable pick up assembly having a magnet at its forward end which is used to pick-up the screws, etc. Since very little light enters such areas, the user is usually forced to use one hand to manipulate the pick-up tool and the other hand to handle a flashlight. Furthermore, in such pick-up tools the extendable pick-up assembly is mounted within an outer tubing assembly which can also be adapted to be used as a workpiece, such as a screwdriver or some other similar tool, by having a workpiece bit, such as a screwdriver bit inserted into its front end. Since the pick-up assembly is usually permanently mounted within the outer tubing assembly, the user is able to use either the pick-up assembly or the other workpiece but not both at the same time.
OBJECTS
The present invention is an improvement over existing pick-up tools and has for one of its objects the provision of an improved pick-up tool which is more versatile than existing pick-up tools.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an improved pick-up tool in which the user may use the pick-up assembly while at the same time be able to use the tool as a workpiece by itself.
Another object of the present invention is the provision of an improved pick-up tool which has an improved mechanism for lighting the area, where screws, etc. are to be picked up.
Other and further objects will be obvious upon the understanding of the illustrative embodiment about to be described, or which will be indicated in the appended claims, and various advantages not referred to herein will occur to one skilled in the art upon employment of the invention in practice.
