Abstract
A drilling tool of the loose top type includes a basic body having two bendable branches having inner support surfaces that are resiliently pressable against side contact surfaces of a replaceable loose top. The mounting of the loose top is affected by turning-in from an initial position to an operative end position. An abutting edge along each side contact surface then bends out the branches and subjects the branches to a spring force that reaches a maximum in a dead position so as to then decrease somewhat up to the operative end position. During the final phase of the rotary motion, the operator obtains, in a tactile and/or auditory way, confirmation of the loose top indeed reaching its operative end position.
