ABSTRACT

A hand tool includes a handle including an opening at a first end of the
handle, the opening extending into the handle and a first group of projections
positioned within the opening, a driver positioned within the opening and
including a second group of projections configured to interface with the first
group of projections. The driver is configured to translate along an axis
between a first position. The first group of projections interface with the
second group of projections while the driver is in the first position to
prevent the driver from rotating about the axis. The driver is configured to
rotate about the axis while the driver is in the second position. A spring is
positioned within the opening and configured to bias the driver towards the
second position.
