Pry bar

An indexable tool comprising:

• a handle;
• an indexable tool body;
• a first prong formed with a first spline annular shoulder and a second prong, formed with a second splined annular shoulder;
• a foot, the foot having a splined orifice aligned with the first splined annular shoulder and the second splined annular shoulder;
• and
• a spline coupling subassembly rotatably joining and selectively locking and unlocking the handle and the indexable tool body in relation to each other;
• the splined coupling subassembly having a push button fixedly coupled to a push. button cylinder, a first serrated insert positioned on the push button cylinder and a second serrated insert positioned on the push button cylinder. in operative association with the first serrated insert;
• the push button cylinder being disposed within the first and second splined annular shoulders and the splined orifice for slidable movement relative thereto;
• the first and second serrated inserts having outer splined surfaces variously engaged with the first splined annular shoulder and the second splined annular shoulder and the splined orifice upon slidable movement of the push button;
• a cap disposed within the second prong and held in fixed relation thereto with a cap retention ring;
• a push button retainer subassembly fixedly coupled to the push button cylinder to fixedly couple and prevent relative sliding movement of the push button cylinder, the first serrated insert and the second serrated insert;
• a clip mounted in a notch machined. circumferentially into the end of the push button cylinder:
• and
• a spring interposed between the cap and the second serrated insert wherein the splined coupling subassembly is movable between (a) a locked position, wherein the spring is biased to hold the splined outer surfaces of the first and second serrated inserts in common interlocking engagement with the splined orifice of the foot and the first and second splined annular shoulders to prevent relative rotation between the tool body and the handle, and (b) an unlocked position, wherein the push button is pushed against the bias of the spring to slidably move the splined outer surface of the first insert into exclusive engagement with the shred orifice of the toot, and the second insert into exclusive engagement with the second splined annular shoulder, thereby disengaging the handle and the body and maintaining the handle in rotatable relation to the tool body.
