| Description: |  | Extra tools are held in a magazine in the handle. The end cap has a central shaft threaded at the end which clamps tools in a wedge-action jaw as well as holds the cap in place to contain the unused tools. 
This construction allows the force of a blow to transfer to the working tool without damaging the handle.
This patent is noted in the specifications for patent no. 152,228. |  |
