Abstract
A clamping device has a hexagon receptacle for receiving hexagon bits inserted in an axial direction of the hexagon receptacle. A radially movable locking element is provided for engaging a locking recess of an inserted hexagon bit. The locking element has a rest position and projects in the rest position radially inwardly into the hexagon receptacle. A locking sleeve surrounds the hexagon receptacle in an initial position and has a cylindrical securing wall. The securing wall radially secures the locking element in the rest position. The locking element is axially moveable within the hexagon receptacle into a receiving position in which radial deflection of the locking element is enabled.
