Abstract
A tool driver having a shaft with a longitudinal axis and opposite ends. A boss is positioned at one of the ends. A tool collet is positioned at the other of the ends. The boss has a bore extending axially thereof forming debris cavity. An actuator on the shaft. A pair of oppositely disposed pins on the actuator. The pins are movable in relation to the boss in response to movement of the actuator. The actuator and the pins move as a unit axially of the boss between an at rest position and a static position. The pins are movable between an extended position and a retracted position as the actuator moves between an at rest position and a static position, whereby a tool can be positioned on the tool driver when the actuator is in its static position and held in operable position on the tool driver when the actuator is in its at rest position.
