  • Publication number: 20030089509
    Abstract: A hand-operated machine tool is disclosed that rotationally drills or percussively chips or both. An embodiment of the hand-operated machine tool includes a toolholder that is used to hold tools having a grooved shank. The toolholder has a toolholder body and at least one radially moving locking member, for example a locking sphere, that is insertable into a groove in the tool and the locking member is radially locked in position by a retaining element that may be displaced by an actuating element to a position that radially releases the locking member. In an embodiment of the invention, the toolholder has at least one sealing device that seals at least one chamber outwardly surrounding the locking member. The sealing device includes at least one sleeve-shaped component that is separate from the actuating element and at least partially defines the volume referred to as the chamber.
