ABSTRACT:
A generally cylindrical shaped tool handle holds multiple sizes of tools. The handle includes one or more holding slots each positioned on one of multiple surface faces into which hexagonal tools are inserted and held. Each holding slot is of a size and dimension which corresponds to a hexagonal tool size. In the preferred embodiment of the handle three of the faces have a single holding slot with multiple receiving holes for holding hexagonal wrenches of multiple sizes. A lock is positioned over the short leg of the hexagonal wrench and the holding slot to hold the wrench in position during use. The width of the bottom of the lock is smaller than the width of the top of the lock in order to give the lock a natural spring-like property, thereby allowing it to clamp onto the handle and remain in its locked position. The lock may be positioned to hold a tool in any one of the holding slots. In the preferred embodiment the lock includes inner ridges which are received by positioning slots, within the handle, in order to keep the lock from rotating around the handle during use. Hexagonal shaped tools other than wrenches may also be used with the handle of the present invention such as screwdrivers and socket wrenches. A multiple tool holder is designed to slide over the handle of the present invention and hold multiple sizes of tools which may be used with the handle. The tool holder includes a mounting magnet for mounting the handle and holder to a magnetic surface.
