Abstract
A small outer diameter quick release extension rod is provided with elongated sheet-shaped elastic elements therein for realizing the effect of engaging with a screwdriver head. A second positioning ring in the operating element is used to press against the elastic elements to control them to be engaged in or disengaged from the screwdriver head. The small outer diameter quick release extension rod is easy to operate and has a relatively small outer diameter, not only reducing the structure weight and energy loss, but also enhancing the flexibility of use.
