  • Patent number: 5024565
    Abstract: A hand tool can remove burrs from an aperture in a workpiece. The tool has a hollow handle and a shaft rotatably mounted in the handle to reciprocate axially therein. The tool has a thruster for urging the shaft to extend axially. A rider is mounted in the handle for engaging and rotating the shaft as it extends axially from the handle. This rider can allow axial retraction of the shaft into the handle without rotation. A deburring bit (e.g. a countersink bit) is mounted at an outer end of the shaft. Thus the bit turns when the shaft extends as the handle withdraws from the workpiece.
