The rotation-retarding device includes a first element and a second element having a rotary motion to be retarded relative to each other. The column is mounted to rotate relative to the base about its axis to assume a service position in which the neutralization device is deactivated and at least one rest position in which the wheel is offset angularly by at least approximately a quarter-turn relative to the service position and the neutralization device is activated. The system works by vertically installing the tool attachment with the mounting adapter and then twisting to secure the tool attachment to the mounting adapter.
