The carrier of the first stage has a small diameter hexagonal first socket for receiving and entraining, for example, the shank of a chuck. The carrier of the second stage has a large diameter hexagonal second socket for receiving and entraining, for example, the shank of a screwdriver bit as well as a passage bore to provide access to the first socket. The socket and bore in the second stage are dimensioned so that the shank of the chuck can extend therethrough without being entrained thereby. | |
