Abstract: A thumb socket for a multi-faceted coaxial cable nut includes a multi-faceted body. An exterior wall of the body defines a plurality of extended points in spaced radial relation, so as to form finger holds therebetween. An inner wall of the body defines a central cavity having a shape complimentary to at least a portion of an exterior of the coaxial cable nut. A notch is formed in the body having a diameter less than a diameter of the coaxial cable nut so as to forcibly receive the coaxial cable nut within the central cavity of the body to permit manual torque via the finger holds of the body to loosen or tighten the coaxial cable nut.
