  • Screwdriver Handle with Rotatable End Cap
    Publication number: 20040123705
    Abstract: A screwdriver handle is disclosed that facilitates storage and organization of screwdriver bits by supplying individual compartments for bits of different sizes and functions within the screwdriver handle. An operator may easily access a particular bit by rotating a cap and aligning its opening with the compartment containing the desired bit. The cap need not be removed from the body of the handle to remove a desired bit. A ratchet mechanism allows for selective and precise rotation of the cap. After the bit is selected, the operator returns the cap to a closed position so that all of the bits are securely stored inside the handle.
