Abstract: A multipurpose socket wrench includes an elongated tubular body with an internal opening extending longitudinally from the distal end and having a hexagonal cross-section. A driver receiving opening extends longitudinally from the proximal end. Elongated holding arms are positioned in longitudinally extending grooves formed in the outer surface of the body. The arms are mounted for limited longitudinal movement between an extended position and a retracted position. An attachment component gripping feature is positioned in the portion of the arms extending beyond the distal end of the body with the arms in the extended position. The arms are further mounted for limited radial movement of the gripping features.

Abstract: A multipurpose socket wrench includes an elongated tubular body with an internal opening extending longitudinally from the distal end and having a hexagonal cross-section. The body includes a driver receiving opening extending longitudinally from the proximal end. Two longitudinally extending grooves are formed in the outer surface of the body in diametrically opposed relationship. Elongated holding arms are positioned, one each in each of the pair of grooves. The arms are mounted in the grooves for limited longitudinal movement therealong between an extended position in which a portion of the arms extends beyond the distal end of the body and a retracted position. Each of the arms includes an attachment component gripping feature positioned in the portion of the arms extending beyond the distal end of the body with the arms in the extended position. The arms are further mounted for limited radial movement of the gripping features.
