Abstract
A modular tool bit holder system includes an angle tool bit holder, a flexible shaft tool bit holder. The angle tool bit holder includes a housing containing a first input shaft, a first angle gear rotatably drivable about a first axis, a second angle gear, and a first bit holder rotatably drivable by the first angle gear about a second axis at an angle to the first axis. The flexible shaft tool bit holder includes a second input shaft, a flexible intermediate shaft rotatably drivable by the second input shaft, and a second tool bit holder rotatably drivable by the flexible intermediate shaft. The angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder are operable separately or in combination. A connection assembly is configured to non-rotatably couple the angle tool bit holder and the flexible shaft tool bit holder when they are operable in combination.
