Abstract
A tool providing a plurality of tool bits, each having a different polygonal (i.e. hexagonal) external contour. The tool includes an inner member and an outer sleeve member. The inner member defines a small tool bit having a polygonal external contour. The outer sleeve member includes a cavity that selectively receives the inner member. The inner member and the outer sleeve member together define, when the inner member is received within the cavity, a large tool bit having a polygonal external contour of the same shape, but a larger size, than the inner tool bit. In this manner, the small tool bit may be used when the inner member is withdrawn from the cavity and the large tool bit may be used when the inner member is received within the cavity.
