SCREWDRIVER

摘要

A screwdriver (10) comprising a shank (12) having a working end, abutment means (14) on said shank (12), an elongate member (16) which is slidably mounted on said shank (12) and comprises a screw receiving portion (20), a spring retaining portion (22) and a stop (18) which separates said screw receiving portion (20) and said spring retaining portion (22), spring means (26) on said shank (12) within said spring retaining portion (22) between said stop (18) and said abutment means (14) for biasing said elongate member (16) toward said working end, and a cap (24) fast with one end of said elongate member (16), the arrangement being such that said stop (18) and at least one of said cap (24) and said abutment means (14) inhibit play of said elongate member (16) across the longitudinal axis of said shank (12) and contact between said cap (24) and said abutment means (14) limits travel of said elongate member (16) in the direction of said working end.
