Screwdriver with handle for storing bits

A screwdriver having a shaft and a handle and magnetic holding means mounted at the work end of said shaft for removably holding metal screwdriver bits, and storage means in said handle for storing a plurality of bits, said storage means comprising:

• a plurality of through-going bores in said handle transversely oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of said screwdriver, in which bores resilient sleeves are affixed which, when affixed in said handle bores, have internal diameters slightly smaller than the bits stored therein, said bits being stored within said sleeves such that the longitudinal axes of the bits are also transversely oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of the screwdriver, i.e. the long axes of the stored bits correspond to the long axes of the through-going bores and sleeves,
• the handle of said screwdriver having a width substantially equal to the length of said bits,
• whereby, when one of the stored bits is desired for use, the user removes the bit previously used from said magnetic holding means and presses said bit into the opening of the sleeve holding the desired bit, thereby freeing the desired bit and, at the same time, storing the bit previously used, following which the desired bit is affixed to said magnetic means.
