Abstract

The present invention provides a connection device or tool (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 1110, 2110, 3110, 4110) to connect a first tool (80, 90) to a second tool (90,80), the connection device or tool (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, 1110, 2110, 3110, 4110) comprising at least one shell member 30 which clamps a first end to said first tool (80, 90) and a second end of said at least one shell member 30 to engage with said second tool (90,80), whereby relative rotation between said first tool and second tool is prevented, and axial separation of said first tool (80, 90) and second tool (90,80) is prevented or is assisted in being prevented. This results in a safer combination of the first tool (80, 90) and second tool (90,80), and allows for a one handed operation of the combination.
