  • Patent number: 5765454
    Abstract: A tool holder for holding tool bits, e.g. Allen wrenches or the like, that includes a tool head having a transversely extending hole for receiving a tool or tool bit and a connected stem having an internally threaded bore connected in communication with the transverse hole. A screw is threaded in the bore of the stem for securing and releasing the tool adapted to be received in the transverse hole. A handle having an internal seat is rotatable about the stem and connected screw and longitudinally movable relative thereto between a latched and unlatched position. In the latched position, the handle is freely rotatable relative to the stem and independently of the connected screw. In the unlatched position a seat in the handle engages the head of the screw whereby the rotation of the handle in one direction or the other effects the drive of the screw toward or away from the toolhead accordingly to either secure or release the tool bit.
