Quick locking and releasing attachment retainer

An apparatus comprising:

• a tool housing having a housing cavity and one or more holes, the one or more holes having one or more release members;
• a spindle positioned within at least a portion of the housing cavity, the spindle having a passageway;
• a collar positioned about at least a portion of the spindle, the collar having an inner surface comprising a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being different than the second surface, the collar being axially displaceable about an outer surface of the spindle between a collar locked position at which at least a portion of first surface is axially aligned with a first opening of the passageway, and a collar release position at which at least a portion of the second surface is axially aligned with the first opening of the passageway, at least a portion of the collar positioned proximally adjacent to the one or more holes of the tool housing, the inner surface being sized to accommodate rotation of the spindle within the collar;
• and
• a release ring rotably coupled to the tool housing, the release ring having a cam surface that engages the one or more release members, the cam surface structured to transmit a force that facilitates axial displacement of the one or more release members generally toward the collar as the release ring is selectively rotated from a release ring locked position to a release ring release position, the one or more release members positioned to transmit the force to the collar to facilitate axial displacement of the collar from the collar locked position to the collar release position.
