A multi-purpose tool includes a weighted driver that can carry either of a pair of rods having different widths for driving different sized fasteners or can carry various other attachments to provide six different tool configurations. Each rod slides within a correspondingly sized hollow sleeve. The weighted driver is repeatedly translated causing one of the rods to slide within its corresponding sleeve and repeatedly impact the head of a fastener to drive the fastener into a desired surface. The rods are each selectively threadably attached to the driver and readily removed therefrom thus permitting the tool to be easily switched between first and second configurations and easily disassembled for storage in a tool belt or in a tool box. A plumb bob tip and a string brace are attachable to the weighted driver to provide a relatively heavy plumb bob, the plumb bob tip being directly attachable to the string brace to provide a relatively lightweight plumb bob. A punch tip and an impact head can be attached to the weighted driver to provide a heavy duty center punch. The impact head and the first rod can be attached to the weighted driver, the first rod slidingly received in the correspondingly sized hollow sleeve, to provide another tool that can direct the blows of hammers to very small areas for use in numerous capacities.
