Abstract: A pass-through socket set 1 includes a ratchet wrench, a plurality of nut driving sockets, a socket driving extension, and an impact driver adaptor. Each of the sockets and the extension can be engaged in the ratchet wrench 12 to be driven thereby, with the extension also being able to engage each of the sockets to transfer torque from the wrench to the socket when the extension is engaged in the. Furthermore, each of the sockets and the extension 16 can be engaged in the adaptor 18 to allow the socket to be driven/rotated by a power driver, such as any conventional and known powered impact driver, powered drill, or powered screwdriver, by engaging a shank of the adaptor in the quick connect or chuck of the power driver.

Abstract: A multimode hand tool is disclosed for driving a threaded fastener component in three different modes. A first mode allows a handheld power drive, such as a handheld drill/driver, to rotate a threaded fastener via the hand tool similar to a conventional right angle drive attachment. A second mode allows a user to rotate a threaded fastener by applying a torque force onto a portion of the hand tool in the same fashion as when using a standard ratchet wrench. A third mode allows a user to rotate a threaded fastener by rotating one part of the hand tool relative to another part of the hand tool.

Abstract: A pass-through hand tool includes a handle that includes a hollow bore extending therethrough. The tool includes a reversible main barrel, having a pair of socket ends and a hollow interior. The reversible main barrel is insertable into the hollow bore in either of two orientations to present one of the sockets. The tool includes a reversible secondary barrel having another pair of sockets, an external hexagonal screwdriver head, and a hollow secondary interior. The reversible secondary barrel is insertable into the hollow interior of the reversible main barrel in either of two orientations to present one of the associated sockets. The tool includes a reversible tertiary barrel having another pair of sockets with external hexagonal screwdriver heads and a hollow tertiary interior. The reversible tertiary barrel is insertable into the hollow interior of the reversible secondary barrel in either of two orientations to present one of the associated sockets.

Abstract: A nut driver includes an elongate drive shank and a reversible socket. The socket has a first hex socket opening sized to engage a hexagonal profile of a first size, and a second hex socket opening sized to engage a hexagonal profile of a second size that is larger than the first size. The socket is mountable on the drive shank in either a first orientation that presents the first hex socket opening for use, or a second orientation that presents the second hex socket opening for use. Additionally, in the first orientation, the socket is mountable in either a screw head receiving position or a drive bit receiving position.
