Abstract

A compact multi-bit screwdriver comprises a handle slideably incorporating a bit bar, releasably securable in three different positions. For storage the bit bar is contained within the handle and is moved into an operative position by rotation of a lever mounted on the handle, for greater torque, the bit bar may be removed and attached at a 90 degree angle to the general plane of the handle (Figure 4). The handle also serves as storage space for the screwdriver bits (heads) which are removed therefrom using the bit bar.

Description
