  • screwdrivers with interchangeable axial shafts comprising a handle with retaining means for holding a rearward portion of the axial shaft in an inner longitudinal hole in the handle.
  • a ratcheting screwdriver with exchangeable bits is disclosed, for example, in US-7287448-B2 .
  • the therein described screwdriver comprises a handle body having a first end, a second end and an inner axial blind hollow extending from the first end towards the second end of the handle body, and a first opening in the first end communicating with the axial hollow, and a sleeve member fixedly fitted within the axial blind hollow,
  • the sleeve member comprises a first end portion with an insertion opening of an axial inner passage for accommodating the rearward portion of the axial shaft, a second end portion and an outer wall surface, and a ratchet mechanism comprising a toothed sleeve, at least one pawl member engaging the toothed sleeve and a switch member mounted at a first handle end portion.
  • the ratcheting mechanism comprises a toothed sleeve, a first pawl member and a second pawl member positioned in a receiving section in an axial inner passage in the sleeve member, and connected to each other by a connecting spring for biasing the pawl members away from each other, and a cap-shaped switch member,
  • the switch member is pivotable between a first end position, a second end position and an intermediate position and comprises actuator rods extending into the receiving portion at opposite sides.
  • a second actuator rod pushes the second pawl member away from the outer wall surface of the toothed sleeve so that a toothed side of the second pawl member becomes disengaged from the toothed sleeve whilst the first pawl member becomes restrained between a lateral wall of the receiving portion and the outer surface of the toothed sleeve so that its toothed side engages with the toothed sleeve, so that the ratcheting mechanism allows clockwise driving rotation for driving a screw or other element, and counterclockwise free rotation in which the screw or other element is not driven.
  • the actuator rods are distanced from the pawl members so that the toothed sides of both of them engage with the toothed sleeve, so that driving rotation is allowed clockwise and counterclockwise.
  • the first actuator rod pushes the first pawl member way from the outer wall surface of the toothed sleeve -6- so that the toothed side of the first pawl member becomes disengaged from the toothed sleeve whilst the second pawl member becomes restrained between the opposite lateral wall of the receiving portion and the outer surface of the toothed sleeve so that its toothed side engages with the toothed sleeve, so that, in said second portion, the ratcheting mechanism allows counterclockwise driving rotation for loosening a screw or other element, and clockwise free rotation in which the screw or other element is not moved.
