Abstract
A sleeve is rotated to a position in which an aperture is in register with a tool-bit receiving recess in a body rotatably mounted on the shaft of a hand tool such as a screwdriver, so that a tool-bit can be removed from or inserted into that recess in a direction transverse to the axis of the shaft. The sleeve surrounds a rear end portion of the body so as to prevent escape of tool-bits from the recesses while leaving the tool-bits partly visible.
