Abstract:
A tool having a relatively ductile working end for engaging workpieces and a relatively hard non-working portion for driving the tool is disclosed, and a process for making same. The tool is formed with the material in a first state, such as by cold-working, and then only the non-working portion is heat treated to a second state. The working end is thus maintained in the ductile state while the non-working portion is hardened, thus imparting different materials performance characteristics to working end and non-working portion.

Claim (Index 32):
The method of  claim 30 , wherein the step of providing no direct heat treatment includes subjecting the portion of the tool between the working and non-working portions to residual heat from the heat treating, wherein the portion of the tool between the working and non-working portions is at least partially comprised of a material including tempered steel and substantially free of tempered martensite steel after the heat treating, and wherein the end of the working portion is comprised of a material free of tempered martensite steel and tempered steel.
