  • Ratchet wrench for storage of nested sockets
    Patent number: 6634262
    Abstract: A ratchet wrench with a wrench head, a handle and a tray provides compact and easily accessible storage of sockets. The handle defines a chamber in which the tray is stored. The tray has a back side and a stepped slot shaped and sized to retain sets of nested sockets. The tray defines at least one aperture which corresponds with the storage position of a first socket in each set of nested sockets. The aperture provides access to the first socket from the back side of the tray and facilitates dislodging of the first socket. Once the first socket is dislodged, the entire set of nested sockets is easily removed.
