I claim:

1. In a device for inserting a tool in and extracting it from a tool holder, a hand member having a partially cut-out portion bent vat a substantial angle thereto and forming a resilient guard for an extension of said hand member, bent portions on either side of said extension forming side guards, a projection on said extension inclined toward said hand member and adapted automatically to engage a perforation in said tool for the purpose of inserting it in and extracting it from the tool holder.

2. In a device for inserting a tool in and extracting it from a tool holder, a hand member having a partially cut-out offset portion bent at a substantial angle thereto and forming a resilient guard for an extensionof sald hand member offset therefrom, bent portions on either side of said ofiset extension forming side guards, a projection on said exten sion inclined toward said hand member and adapted automatically to engage a perforation in said tool for the purpose of inserting it in and extracting it from the tool holder.

3. In a device for inserting a tool in and extracting it from a tool holder, a hand member having a partially cut-out portion bent at substantially 180 thereto and forming a resilient guard for an extension of said hand member offset therefrom, bent portions on either side of said offset extension forming side guards, a projection on said offset extension inclined toward said hand member and adapted automatically to engage a perforation in said tool for the purpose of inserting it in and extracting it from the tool holder.

4.. In a device for inserting a tool in and extracting it from a tool holder, a member having a projection adapted automatically to en a perforation in said tool for the purpose of inserting it in and extracting it from the tool holder, a bent portion on said member acting as a guide for said tool, and a hand member for said inserting and extracting device having a bent portion acting as a resilient guide and a guard for said tool.

5. In a device for inserting a tool in and extracting it from a tool holder, a handle for said device, a member secured to said handle having a projection inclined toward said handle and adapted automatically to engage a perforation in said tool for the purpose of Lil)
