Original Abstract Submitted

A bit holder configured to be driven by a power tool. The bit holder includes a shank, a bit holding body, a bearing, and a sleeve. The shank defines a groove. The bit holding body defines a longitudinal bore that receives a portion of the shank and an aperture defined in a surface of the bit holding body that is in fluid communication with the longitudinal bore. The bearing is received at least partially in the aperture of the bit holding body and at least partially in the groove of the shank. The sleeve including a step. The sleeve disposed over the shank and the bit holding body such that the step is radially aligned with the groove of the shank, the aperture of the bit holding body, and the bearing to inhibit the bearing from moving out of the groove and the aperture.
