Abstract
This invention is a multi-functional tool structure, consisting of a handle, a base, a cover and a sleeve. The base is engaged to the handle, and has multiple slots for placing tool heads, while the bottom part is provided with tool positioning recesses for fixing tool heads. The sleeve is set on the base, and has a side opening. Hence, when the side opening is set in line with the too heads by the rotation of the sleeve, the tool head can be removed from the side opening, and fixed to the tool fixing recess on the base before use.
