Abstract: A multiple-in-1 hand tool stores multiple tool bits adjacent a handle proximate end and is removably joinable to a tool handle. A hand tool handle cap is removably attached to the hand tool enabling rapid tool bit access while enabling simple one-handed use.

Abstract: A 12-in-1 precision hand tool has five double-ended specifically sized precision tool bits stored in separate handle compartments adjacent the handle proximate end and one double-ended tool bit operably disposed at the distal end of a selectively retractably extendible shank for impeded access precision drive use. A handle cap is removably attached to the handle and has a rare earth permanent metal magnet disposed therein and operably disposed with respect to an axial opening in the cap to slidably receive and magnetically hold one selected double-headed tool bit. The removed handle cap provides a mini 12-in-1 precision drive tool. The handle has alternate flat and arcuate surfaces of about equal surface area and distally disposed contiguous tapered flat surfaces for ergonomic precision tool use.

Abstract: A hand tool has a pliers with pivotably disposed handles with one handle having a closed ended sleeve pivotably connected to one handle head for removably operably receiving tool with the sleeve non-removably bits pivoting 180° from an inoperable position between the handle sides to an operable position, and the other handle has a plurality of bladed tools pivotally connected to the other handle end.

Abstract: A hand tool provides 11 double-headed tool bits for a multiple-in-1 screwdriver function and a 6-in-1 socket driver functions in an ergonomically designed handled having a removable handle cap. The handle cap selectively receiving each of the 11 double-head tool bits for a multiple-in-1 screwdriver function.

Abstract: A tool bit drive sleeve for a hand tool has a central axis and is formed with an integral flange with means for rotating the sleeve from an inoperable position within or adjacent the handle to an operable position disposed about 180° from the inoperable position, and wherein the axis of rotation is spaced from the sleeve central axis, so that the sleeve is disposed adjacent the side edge of the handle to be readily grasped in the inoperable position for rotation to the operable position whereat the sleeve and tool bit drive are preferably centrally disposed to the handle.

Abstract: A hand tool has a handle has an elongated central axis and opposed elongated sides and oppositely disposed ends, and tool bits which are pivotally removably stowed in the handle, which handle has a non-circular hole for non-rotatably operably receiving the tool bits, and the non-circular hole has a central axis, with the central axes angularly disposed.

Abstract: An essentially complete screwdriver set or tool bit drive set is encompassed in a single hand tool with an ergonomic handle. Upwards of 26 different tool bit drives in combination with multiple hex nut drives are readily interchangeably used in the hand tool. The ergonomic handle is of partible molded clear plastic so that diverse color-coded tool bit drives are readily recognized and retrieved.

Abstract: A hand tool has an elongated handle with oppositely disposed ends and a first tool includes a plurality of tool bits and a sleeve for operably receiving the tool bits with the sleeve non-rotatably detachably attached to one end of the handle, and the sleeve pivotally connected so as to rotate the sleeve with a tool bit to first and second operable positions, with a second tool pivotally connected to the other handle end for alternate first or second tool use.

Abstract: An electrical installer hand tool has multiple interchangeable rethread bits and drive bits in the one hand tool. The 10-in-1 hand tool optimally has 4 interchangeable rethread bits, 4 interchangeable drive bits and 2 nut drives. The 4 rethread bits optimally has size/number of threads, 6/32, 8/32, 10/32 and 10/24, and the 4 drive bits are correspondingly sized to drive screws in the rethreaded holes. The 10-in-1 hand tool permits an electrical installer to rethread putty-filled screw holes and then drive screws in the electrical box sheet metal construction with the one hand tool.

Abstract: A pocket hand tool has tow opposing sleeves which are pivotally connected to opposite ends of a new pocket tool handle. Each sleeve slidably receives interchangeable tool bits. The sleeves are selectively pivoted from an inoperable position within the handle to an operable position disposed away from the handle.

Abstract: A pocket tool has a handle with a first sleeve pivotally connected at one end of the handle for pivoting the first sleeve from an inoperable position to an operable position, and a second sleeve slidably disposed in the first sleeve with 4 tool bits slidably disposed in the second sleeve and the first and second sleeves providing 3 hexagonal openings to provide a multiple drive tool, and a second tool is pivotally connected at the end of the handle for pivoting from an inoperable position to an operable position. The pocket tool is operable as a multiple drive tool or a second tool.

Abstract: A hand tool has a pliers with pivotably disposed handles with one handle having a closed ended sleeve pivotably connected to one handle head for removably operably receiving tool with the sleeve non-removably bits pivoting 180° from an inoperable position between the handle sides to an operable position, and the other handle has a plurality of bladed tools pivotally connected to the other handle end.

Abstract: A hand tool having a plurality of tools attached thereto. The tool includes a sleeve with a plurality of bits. The sleeve is disconnectably attached to a handle by engagement with a polygonal socket connection drive which is pivotally attached to the handle. A second tool is pivotally attached to the handle opposite end.

Abstract: A combination trowel and screwdriver is provided wherein the trowel handle houses and removably retains a tool bit drive assembly which houses a plurality of tool bit or screw drives. The user pivots the tool bit drive assembly housing away from the handle to a position extending in the proximate direction from the handle. The user then selects the desired tool bit drive for insertion at the proximate end of the assembly and with the proximate end of the handle screws the screw into a recessed position in a wallboard construction. The user then retracts or repivots the tool bit drive assembly into the handle, and then with the trowel end putties or spreads a wallboard plastic or finishing material over the recessed screw head to finish the wall.

Abstract: A hand tool includes interchangeable screwdriver bits and a pivoted sleeve which pivots from an inoperable position to an operable position, and one of the screwdriver bits is slidably non-rotatably operably disposed in the operable position. The hand tool also includes a pivoted telescoping magnet which is pivoted from an inoperable position to an operable position for extendibly magnetically holding a screw. The hand tool is alternatively operable as a screwdriver and telescoping magnet.

Abstract: A compact multiple function hand tool Includes a pliers with opposed hand grip legs with one hand grip leg having a pivotable self-contained tool bit drive set which contains two double-ended tool bits and three nut drives, and the other hand grip leg has a pivoted bladed tool, so that the compact hand tool is alternatively operable as a pliers, a bladed tool, a multiple tool bit drive and a multiple nut drive.
