The first receptacle has at least two driving surfaces for transferring a torque in a first direction, the second receptacle has at least two driving surfaces for transferring a torque in a first direction and in a second, opposite direction, and the retainer element has at least one retaining section to prevent a movement of a second functional drill element relative to the second connecting element in a retracting position of the second functional drill element.
