ABSTRACT:
A releasably locking mechanism for locking and releasing the shank of a blade or other implement snugly within a receiver, wherein a magnetized ball extends through aligned holes in the shank and the first wall of the receiver, and seats in a smaller hole in the second wall of the receiver so that the equator of the ball is positioned on the side of the shank nearer to the second wall of the receiver. Unseating the ball and repositioning its equator to the opposite side of the shank, nearer to the first wall of the receiver, facilitates removal of the ball to allow removal of the shank from the receiver.
