The latch mechanism includes a latch moveably mounted within the housing and moveable between a first position and a second position, a biasing mechanism biasing the latch towards the first position, and a catch attached to the latch. The catch has a chamfer which is arranged so that the chamfer slidingly engages the drill and moves the latch from its first position towards its second position when the drill enters the engagement region.
