Abstract: A tool attachment assembly having a housing with a central axis, a toolholder with a tool carrying portion and a mounting portion spaced axially from the tool carrying portion, a projection on one of the housing and mounting portion of the tool holder, and a receptacle on the other of the housing and mounting portion of the tool holder for receiving the projection so that the housing and the tool holder reside at least partially, one within the other, with the tool holder in an operative state on the housing. There are axially facing first and second surfaces, one each on the housing and the mounting portion of the tool holder, that extend at least partially around the central axis and are abuttable to each other to limit movement of the tool holder axially towards the housing with the tool holder in the operative state. At least one of the first and second surfaces is other than parallel to a plane that is orthogonal to the central axis.
