interfere with ring 39 s 26 axial movement so the ring 26 remains in a space 38 between the ring holder 24 and the head 12 it should be appreciated the ring holder 24 can protrude from any circumferential point on handle 22 regardless of the cross sectional shape of handle 22 ring holder 24 would preferably still be positioned to be able to limit the axial movement of ring 26 the protrusion of ring holder 24 extends out from the handle 22 such that the inner diameter of the ring is too small to pass over the ring holder 24 it should also be appreciated that ring holder 24 can be a series of protuberances located around the circumference or the outside surface of the upper portion of handle 26 without further modification the ring 26 could slide axially up and down the handle 22 of the multi purpose tool 10 during the swinging motion of the tool 10 as the tool is used for hammering the ring 26 could also slide up and down the handle 22 of the tool 10 as the tool is orientated in different directions to take advantage of various tool features however notch 30 allows the ring 26 to pass over the ring holder 24 when the notch 30 is aligned with the protrusion of the ring holder 24 fig1 and fig3 illustrate a small space 36 between the ring holder.
