<p>This invention relates to a multipurpose folding hand tool (10). The tool includes two interconnected handle formations (12.1, 12.2) that are displaceable with respect to each other between a first position, in which they are alongside each other with free ends (18.1, 18.2) defined by them together, and a second position, in which the free ends are spaced apart. It includes also a plurality of tool bits (26, 28, 32, 34) pivotally mounted on the free ends of the handle formations. Each tool bit can pivot between an inoperative position, in which it is tucked away in its handle formation, and an operative position, in which it projects for use thereof. In the latter position of each tool bit and with the handle formations in their first position, an abutment formation (38) of the tool bit and a matching abutment formation (39) carried by the other handle formation prevent pivotal displacement of the tool bit towards its inoperative position.</p> |
