Abstract
Screwing tool (1) having a grip (2) and a shank (3), which is received removably in a cavity (4) open toward an end of the grip (2) and which at its free end has an actuating portion (5). The shank (3) is retained in a position of use such that it is fixed in terms of rotation on the grip, to avoid sliding in the axial direction, by a retaining element (14) associated with the grip (2). The retaining element (14) can be displaced into a removal position by displacement of an actuating member (6) in order for the shank to be removed from the grip (2). In a storage position, a large part of the shank (3) is located in the cavity (4), where it is held by a holding element (H). The holding element (H) is releasable, so that part of the shank (3) can be moved out.

Screwing tool (1) having a grip (2) and a shank (3), which is received removably in a cavity (4) open toward an end of the grip (2) and which at its free end has an actuating portion (5);
- wherein the shank (3) is retained in a position of use with the shank being fixed in terms of rotation on the grip without sliding in the axial direction, by means of a retaining element (14) associated with the grip (2);
- wherein the retaining element (14) can be displaced into a removal position by displacement of an actuating member (6) in order for the shank to be removed from the grip (2);
- in which tool, in a stored position, a large part of the shank (3) is located in the cavity (4), where it is held releasably, wherein the shank, in the stored position, is held by means of releasable holding means (H) separate from the retaining element (14), it being possible, during release of the holding means, for that part of the shank (3) which is located in the cavity (4), apart from a holding portion (H) of the shank (3) associated with the fixed shank end, to be moved out of the cavity (4) into the position of use onto a stop (A) formed by the remaining element (14) through the application of force.
