Abstract (en)

The present specification discloses a hand tool such as a screwdriver or chisel. Such tools are required in different sizes for different jobs, requiring the handyman to purchase a number of different tools to cover all eventualities. The present invention overcomes the above problem by providing a hand tool comprising a handle (1) to which a working head (5) is attached, the working head (5) having a number of radially projecting tool heads (7), which tool heads (7) can be of different sizes and type, as desired. The working head (5) is rotatable to any one of a number of positions and lockable in any selected position so that the selected tool head (7) is an axial extension of the handle (1) and available for use.
