A multiple bit screwdriver comprising a plurality of tool bits, an
elongate member defining an axial passage adapted to receive said bits
therein positioned tip to end so that the foremost bit operably extends
from the passage and is rotatable with the elongate member, first and
second retainers connected to the elongate member near each end of the
passage and extending radially inward into the passage to engage
frictionally the foremost and last bits to prevent said bits from falling
out of either end, and a motion restricting member within the passage
having an expandable engagement portion that cooperates with at least one
tool bit to permit the movement of bits within the passage in one
direction only. The engagement portion is expandable in response a tool
bit being pushed therethrough in one direction, but resists expanding
when a tool bit is being pushed in the opposite direction.
