ABSTRACT:
A screwdriver includes a first body having an end for coupling with a handle, a second body rotatably coupled to the other end of the first body, two pairs of engaging members, and a switch member pivotably mounted to the first body. Each pair of engaging members is slidably received in an associated transverse receiving section that includes two end openings in an outer circumference of the first body. Each engaging member includes a first end with an engaging portion. An elastic element is mounted between second ends of each pair of engaging members for biasing the pair of engaging members away from each other. The switch member is pivotable to selectively engage at least one of the engaging portions of each pair of engaging members with teeth of the second body, thereby controlling relative rotation between the first body and the second body.
