Description: |
| "My invention relates to holders for tools required to be operated by a direct blow like, for instance, nail pullers, chisels, nail sets and the like." The specifications describe a handle that can serve as a hammer; the "plunger" being a shank sliding within an oval tube with "anvils" at either end, and other features enabling use a combination tool.
