I got this tool in a box I bought last weekend and am having a hard time finding information on it. It is marked FOUR STAR around their world globe logo on its butt. The markings are on a paper label. This is a pretty neat multi - tool being that is reminds me of a Tommy Machine Gun.

The handle pulls bach 3-4 inches then you rotate the chamber and pick which tool you would want to use. There are 2 phillips, 3 blade and 1 punch to pick from. Does anyone know about this company or tool?

Thanks

Interesting item.  A quick Google search revealed no direct information.  May possibly be a chiwanese import item from a multi-national consortium group?

Sears was selling a multi-bit autoloading driver that operated something like this.
The bits were stored in the handle, and you pulled the back of the handle off enough to rotate it to the bit you wanted. Then slid it forward. It would pick up that bit and slide it into the end of the shank for use.
Seemed handy for someone who needed lots of bits handy without having them all loose in your pocket. But the mechanism was all plastic - I considered getting it but it seemed to flimsy for daily work.

Sears still sells those drivers for $20. A couple guys at work use them but I don't care for them. They are not a very good screwdriver and not at all suited to the use they get at work. Since Sears has a good warranty they get changed out pretty regular - which I think is abusing the warranty.

The one in the opening post though looks interesting.
All my taste is in my tools.
