Abstract: A multi-function workstation particularly adapted for use by a mechanic while working at the side or underneath a vehicle that is raised on a hydraulic lift. The workstation may be mounted to a wall or shaft near the periphery of the vehicle being worked on or, if possible, to the shaft of the hydraulic lift itself. Electric power and compressed air are supplied to the workstation where connections for electrical cords and compressed air are provided together with convenient supports for one or more compressed air driver devices. Located between a top and bottom section of the workstation that provide for electrical and compressed air access, respectively, are two middle sections comprising open-faced, removable boxes. The boxes contain supports of several types for holding tools or supplies used by a mechanic.

Abstract: A socket extension is provided with a internal light assembly and power supply and is joined together with a socket handle and a socket tool to form a socket wrench so that light may be provided directly to the work area when the socket wrench is being used. The socket extension has a hollow socket body which encases a battery, a light assembly mounted adjacent to the battery and a socket tool connection head which surrounds the light assembly. The light assembly is an assembled part having a flat light mounting disk, a bulb holder attached to a first side of the light mounting disk and a bulb attached to the bulb holder. The second side of the light mounting disk has a spring mounting disk attached thereto. A coil spring is attached to the spring mounting disk.
