A tool attachment has: (i) a drive shaft driven rotationally; (ii) a locking section for locking on a mounting interface of a hand-held machine tool, the machine tool including a tool holder having a receiving member for receiving an insert tool and a first locking sleeve preloaded by a first spring element in an axial direction pointing away from the hand-held machine tool; and (iii) an actuating element configured to shift, upon mounting the tool attachment on the hand-held machine tool, the first locking sleeve against a spring force applied by the first spring element, in the direction of the hand-held machine tool.

A connecting device may have a tooth-shaped jacket, a locking body internally of the tooth-shaped jacket, a plurality of balls, a spring, and a spring base. The locking body has a rear end with an annular groove and has a neck with a plurality of spherical recesses containing the balls. Radial positioning between the locking body and the tooth-shaped jacket is realized through the balls. The spring is connected between the tooth-shaped jacket and the spring base and axial positioning between the spring base and the locking body is realized through a snap ring in the annular groove.

A quick removal socket tool includes: a rod body that has a surrounding wall defining a recess for receiving a screwdriver head and formed with a retaining hole in spatial communication with the recess; and a sliding sleeve sleeved movably on the rod body, formed with an annular groove, and being movable relative to the rod body between a retaining position, where the annular groove is misaligned from the retaining hole so that the positioning ball is disposed within the retaining hole and a groove of the screwdriver head to retain the screwdriver head within the recess, and a release position, where the annular groove is aligned with the retaining hole so that the positioning ball is disposed within the retaining hole and the annular groove to allow for removal of the screwdriver head from the recess.

A bit holder for holding a bit for coupling the bit with a drive tool, wherein the bit holder comprises a receiving unit which is configured for receiving the bit, a tool coupling which is configured for coupling with the drive tool, and an impact load protection unit which is configured for protecting from an impact load which is acting on the bit holder, in particular on a fixing sleeve of the bit holder, when impinging the bit holder on an anchoring base, when an attachment element which is to be driven by the bit, the drive tool and the bit holder, is inserted into the anchoring base.
