A multi-purpose tool has a handle (12) with a shaft (14) affixed thereto and a cylinder assembly (16) disposed to longitudinally slide on the shaft between positions in which the shaft is fully extended to a working position or fully retracted to a loading position. While in the loading position, a cylinder having a plurality of chambers housing different tips (18) may be rotated about its axis, which is offset from the shaft, until the desired tip aligns with and engages the shaft in coupling engagement. The shaft is then extended to the working position thus extending the tip and permitting free rotation of the working tip for use in performing work on a workpiece. Changing the tip requires retracting the shaft, rotating the cylinder to engage the next desired tip, and extending the shaft back to its fully extended position. The multi-purpose tool may be attached to a power tool for power driven rotation. |
