Abstract: A holder for a bit is disclosed. The bit may include a first locking element. The holder may include a housing; a base assembly including a first hole; a second locking element partially disposed within the first hole and configured to move between a locking position in which the second locking element engages the first locking element to prevent removal of the bit, and an unlocking position in which the second locking element is spaced from the first locking element allowing the bit to be removed; and a follower assembly contained within the housing and configured to move relative to the housing and base assembly between a first position in which the follower assembly supports the second locking element in the locking position, and a second position in which the follower assembly allows the second locking element to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.

Abstract: A holder for a bit is disclosed. The holder may include a base assembly, a second locking element, a follower assembly, and a bias assembly. In some embodiments the bias assembly may be configured to urge the bit away from a hole of the base assembly. In some embodiments, the bias assembly may move the follower assembly from a second position in which the follower assembly allows the second locking element to move from a locking position to an unlocking position, to a first position in which the follower assembly supports the second locking element in the locking position, when the bit is inserted in the second hole against urging from the bias assembly. In some embodiments, the bias assembly may be configured to urge the follower assembly away from the first position.
