Abstract: A screwdriver device including a handle having an elongate channel extending partially therethrough of the handle and an axial blade member having a first distal end and a second distal end being configured and disposed for sliding through the elongate channel of the handle and a locking mechanism configured and disposed for releasably locking the axial blade member at a first operable position relative to the handle wherein the first distal end is exposed and the second distal end is disposed within the handle. The screwdriver device further includes a first tool head disposed on the first distal end of the blade member and an ejection mechanism configured and disposed within the handle to constantly urge the axial blade member out of the locking mechanism from the first operable position to a second inoperable position.

Abstract: A wheeled backpack includes a bottom frame member, a fabric bag portion, a pair of laterally spaced wheels, a pair of side frame members, and a telescoping handle that can move between a retracted position and an extended position where the handle can be grasped by a user to roll the backpack on the wheels. The handle is located so that there is little or no fore and aft offset of the center of mass/gravity of the backpack, which minimizes torquing on the handle and associated pivoting of the backpack in a user's hand when the backpack is lifted by the handle with the handle in the retracted position.

Abstract: A reversible tool holder assembly is adapted for insertion into a handle in either of two orientations to present two different ends extending from the handle. The reversible tool holder assembly includes a first barrel and a second barrel that are axially aligned, and a ratcheting mechanism that is disposed axially between the first and second barrels and configured to provide a reversible ratcheting mechanical connection between the first and second barrels. The ratcheting mechanism is configured to provide a reversible ratcheting mechanical connection or a solid mechanical connection between the two barrels.
