  • Publication number: 20080223181
    Abstract: A multifunction hand tool includes a tubular body having first and second open ends, a front wall, a rear wall, and first and second side walls. A first screwdriver tip protrudes from the rear wall in a longitudinal direction so as to be coplanar with the rear wall. A second screwdriver tip protrudes from the front wall in a lateral direction so as to be perpendicular with the front wall. A socket opening is formed in the front wall for engaging a hexagon-shaped fitting. First and second slots are formed in the first and second side walls, respectively, for engaging a flat handle of a ball valve. A third slot is formed in the rear face for engaging a flat handle of a ball valve. A cutout portion in the tubular body is defined by a removed section of the front wall and the first and second side walls.
