Abstract
Abstract A tool includes a driving stem secured to a handle for engaging with a tool bit, and a telescopic member engaged in and secured to the handle and having one end extendible outward of the handle. A magnet is secured to the telescopic member for allowing the magnet to be extended away from the handle to attract a fastener. The handle includes a base and a cap pivotally coupled together for receiving tool bits in the base. The magnet may be extended to a long distance from the handle for allowing the magnet to attract the fastener engaged in a deep portion of an object.
