Abstract: A screw tool having a gear head, which has a freewheel gear, having an output shaft, which is inserted in a non-rotatable but displaceable manner in an output opening and can be moved to and fro between a right-hand screw position and a left-hand screw position in each case by use of axial displacement, wherein in each case a different end section of the output shaft projects out of the gear head, having at least one locking mechanism to secure the position of the output shaft in the respective screw position and/or around a screw output element on the output shaft. As a development which is advantageous for use, the at least one locking mechanism can be moved from a locking position to a release position by pressure on an actuation element arranged on the end face of the output shaft.

Abstract: A storage device including a storage container that can be brought from a storage position in which a tool stored therein cannot be removed, to a removal position, in which the tool stored therein can be removed, with an indication element indicating the tool, the indication element being distinct from the storage container but firmly attached to the storage container and visible in the storage position. According to the invention, an indication element is provided that can be attached to the storage container in simple manner and is not only visible but also palpable, wherein the indication element is a flattened relief of the tool.

Abstract: A wrench including an inward opening that has a multi-point configuration for partially-surrounding engagement in a torque-transmitting manner on a polygonal profile of a nut or a bolt head, a radial jaw opening being associated with the inward opening and at least two corners of the multi-point configuration each having a stop for a portion of an end face of the polygonal profile. In order to extend the range of use of the wrench, the jaw opening has oppositely-disposed jaw cheeks as the opening of an open-end wrench for torque-transmitting engagement on the polygonal profile, the jaw cheeks extending over the corners of the multi-point configuration on only one wide face (of the wrench).

Abstract: A screwdriving tool includes a gear head and a drive arm. The gear head forms a gear housing, in which a free wheel or ratchet gear having an output rotational axis is arranged. A front side of the gear head includes an output coupling, in the shape of a polygon. The drive arm can be pivoted about a pivot axis, which is substantially transverse to the output rotational axis, from a quick-action screwdriver position, in which the drive arm is in the output rotational axis, into a power-action screwdriver position, in which the drive arm extends substantially transversely to the output rotational axis and can be fixed in both pivot positions by detents. The detents can be moved from a detent position into a release position by means of an actuating member associated with the drive arm.

Abstract: Screwdriver handle has a storage chamber for screwdriver bits, the storage chamber being displaceable from a closed position into an open position by axial displacement of two parts of the handle with respect to one another. One handle part has a core, which is disposed in a cavity in the other handle part. The two handle parts are held in the closed position of the storage chamber by latching means movable out of a latching position by pressure on an actuating zone (8) associated with an end side of the handle.

Abstract: A storage device for tools comprising a basic housing that is provided with a swiveling-in space for a pivotable part which is hinged to the basic housing so as to be pivotable from a storage position into a removal position. The pivotable part encompasses retaining openings for tool retaining arranged in a first row and extend into a tool accommodating compartment in the storage position. At least one additional row of retaining openings is provided that runs parallel to the first row. The retaining openings of the first and the at least one additional row are offset relative to one another in a zigzag-shaped manner.

Abstract: A chuck for receiving tools (1) that are operated by rotating around the axis thereof, particularly screwdriver bits, and having an insertion section (3) which is provided with a receiving cavity (2) having a non-circular cross-sectional area (3). The tool can be locked in the cavity (2) by a holding element (4) which is assigned to the cavity wall in order to prevent the tool from being withdrawn from the cavity (2). The holding element (4) can be deactivated by displacing an actuating member in a form of an actuating sleeve (5). The tool (1) rests backwards against the cavity (2). The tool (1) can be displaced from the resting position in the direction of the opening of the cavity (2) by actuating the actuating sleeve (5). In order to facilitate removal of the bit, the chuck also comprises components (15, 16, 17) for releasing the face (1) of the bit, and a magnet (9) which retains the bit in the cavity from the resting position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool, especially a screwing tool having a handle with a chuck, and a blade, especially a screwdriver blade, that can be inserted into an insertion opening of the chuck. The blade inserted into the insertion opening is held by a detent of the chuck, said detent being displaced from a detent position to a release position by actuating a trigger. The inventive tool is characterized in that the detent comprises a detent projection which is located on a spring arm that extends in the axial direction of the insertion opening and on the periphery thereof. Said spring arm is displaced by a control element of the trigger that can be displaced in the axial direction from the detent position to the release position. The insertion opening is configured by an insertion cylinder located in a cavity of the handle. The insertion cylinder is produced from plastic and the spring arm is associated with the insertion cylinder in order to form a single part consisting of the same material.

Abstract: Screwing tool (1) having a grip (2) and a shank (3), which is received removably in a cavity (4) open toward an end of the grip (2) and which at its free end has an actuating portion (5). The shank (3) is retained in a position of use such that it is fixed in terms of rotation on the grip, to avoid sliding in the axial direction, by a retaining element (14) associated with the grip (2). The retaining element (14) can be displaced into a removal position by displacement of an actuating member (6) in order for the shank to be removed from the grip (2). In a storage position, a large part of the shank (3) is located in the cavity (4), where it is held by a holding element (H). The holding element (H) is releasable, so that part of the shank (3) can be moved out.

Abstract: A chuck (1) for tools, especially screwdriver bits with a polygonal section (2), has a polygonal cavity (3) for the insertion of the polygonal section (2). A wall (4) of the polygonal cavity (3) has a window (5) in which is disposed a pressure-piece (6) which can be displaced in the insertion direction (E) and which, in order to secure the inserted polygonal section (2) against being drawn out, is forced against the polygonal section (2), in a direction transverse to the insertion direction (E), by a sloping inner wall (9) of an actuating element. The actuating element is outside the window and is retained in a clamping position by a restoring spring (10), and, in a release position of the actuating element (7), moves aside out of the polygonal cavity (3) in order for the polygonal section (2) to be drawn out.

Abstract: Storage device for at least one tool, in particular a screwing tool such as a screwdriver (1) or chuck (2) with exchangeable screwdriver inserts (3), having a base part (4) and a pivot-open lid part (5) articulated thereon, a mount (6, 7, 24) being provided for accommodating the tool (1, 2) in a fixed position in a plane in which the base part and/or lid part (5) extend/extends, and the lid part (5) having a window (8) which is similar to an outline contour of the tool (1, 2) and the peripheral-edge spacing of which is selected such that the tool (1, 2) cannot be removed through the window (8) of a closed said lid part (5). Certain regions of the tool (1, 2) accommodated by the mount (6, 7, 24) project through the window (8) of the closed lid part (5), peripheral portions of the window being in contact, or nearly in contact, with at least two positions on the tool.
