Abstract:
A multiple bit hand tool comprising:a carrying case having two spaced apart major sides with edge sides therebetween;a first of said edge sides having a seat for storing an elongated tool therealong;a first elongated tool sized to be seated to and along said first edge side without extending beyond confines of said carrying case;a plurality of recesses in a second edge side between said major sides for receiving and storing a plurality of screw driver bits and a bearing pusher bit therein without extending out from said carrying case;a counter bore in said case through said second edge side between said major sides for non-rotatably receiving a selected one of said plurality of screw driver bits such that when said selected driver bit is moved from its stored position to be received in said counter bore, it extends orthogonally from said first edge side such that said carrying case functions as a screw driver handle or a handle for the bearing pusher bit;said carrying case sized with respect to said first elongated tool to seat said first elongated tool within the confines of said carrying case and have all tools stored therein without protruding therefrom when said tools and bits are seated in the respective stored positions;said first elongated tool being totally separable from the carrying case such that one bit when placed in said counter-bore functions as one tool while the elongated tool simultaneously functions as a second tool with use of the tool bits.
