Abstract:
1. A versatile tool being driven by a drive tool and comprising: body including an axial through channel, the through channel being provided at both ends thereof with a first drive space and a second drive space that are hexagonal in cross section, on an outer periphery of the channel being provided a first drive portion and a second drive portion opposite to the first drive space and the second drive space, the second drive portion being hexagonal in cross section and defined with a through hole in an end corner thereof; a second steel ball being movably assembled in the through hole of the second drive portion of the body and capable of protruding into the channel; a first steel ball being movably assembled in the first drive portion of the body and capable of protruding into the channel; a first slide sleeve including an annular protrusion and being elastically engaged on the first drive portion of the body, and the annular protrusion being capable of pushing against the first steel ball; a second slide sleeve being interiorly defined with a third drive space that is hexagonal in cross section, and an annular pushing portion, the third drive space and the pushing portion being arranged in a stepped manner, a radial size of the third drive space being greater than a radial size of the annular pushing portion, annular pushing portion of the second slide sleeve being slidably engaged on the second drive portion of the body in such a manner that a moving space is defined between the third drive space and the second drive portion for movement of the second steel ball, the annular pushing portion being capable of pushing against the second steel ball, and the third drive space being capable of protruding from the second drive portion of the body; a rod member being axially defined with more than one positioning concave and including a magnetic end, one portion of the rod member being located in the channel of the body in such a manner that the positioning concave is positioned by the first steel ball, and the other portion of the rod member extending out of the channel of the body for connection to the drive tool; by such arrangements, when the rod member enters the channel from the first drive portion of the body to make the positioning concave be positioned by the first steel ball and the magnetic end locate adjacent to the second drive space or the third drive space, the second drive space or the third drive space will be used to engage with a working object, when the rod member enters the channel from the second drive portion of the body to make the positioning concave be positioned by the first steel ball and the magnetic end locate adjacent to the first drive space, the first drive space will be used to engage with a working object.
