The instant invention is a combined hammer and socket-wrench handle. In addition to being usable like a standard hammer, it has on its front side a rotational square-section peg adapted to fit in the seat of a socket so that the hammer can serve as the handle of a socket wrench. On its back side it has a small lever pivotal between a pair of end positions. In one of the end positions the socket peg can rotate only clockwise, and in the other position only counterclockwise, as is standard in a socket wrench.
