Abstract: According to one aspect, there is provided a bit tool having a bit storage member for housing a plurality of bits. The member includes an exterior which is at least partially transparent. A light assembly extends around the bit storage member and selectively illuminates the bit storage member to reveal the bits. According to another aspect, the tool has a pushrod for operatively selecting bits and a locking assembly that may be actuated for selectively coupling the pushrod and a respective one of the bits together to operate the tool. According to a further aspect, there is provided a ratcheting handle assembly which includes at least one catch member operatively connected to and linearly moveable relative to an inner core. A selector member actuates respective ones of the catch members for selectively causing the handle assembly to ratchetly drive the inner core in forward and reverse positions.
