Modular Hand Tool and Connector Assembly

摘要

A modular tool construction is provided comprising a tool shaft with a first and second connector assembly that are adapted to removably support tool implements at each end, whereby the tool can take on different tasks without resorting to multiple, single-use tools. The connector assemblies comprise an elongated, male connector member that is adapted to be received by a complimentary female member. The connection between the male and female members aligns the tool shaft with the tool implement. A slidable sleeve is thereafter positioned over the joint and threadably secured thereover. The internal members and the sleeve provide sufficient support to prevent prying and failure at the joint location, while also providing for ease of attachment and removal of different implements. The tool shaft is adapted to comprise a male and a female connector member at opposing ends.
