  • Patent number: 7497148
    Abstract: A swiveling driver includes a handle portion and a head portion operatively coupled to the handle portion for selectively pivoting relative thereto. The head portion includes an implement and defines at least one detent. A yoke extends from the handle portion and includes a protrusion for selective engagement with the detent. The yoke is movable between a locked configuration in which the protrusion is received in a detent and a released configuration in which the protrusion is not received in a detent. The head portion may be moved freely when the yoke is at the released configuration for setting the angle of the head portion relative to the handle or be fixed at the locked configuration. When the head portion is fixed, the implement may be operated with either a driver bit or in a ratcheting motion.
