  • Socket for a socket wrench
    Patent number: 6637298
    Abstract: A socket mounted on the actuating handle of a socket wrench. The socket includes a hollow body member housing a number of individual sockets, which individual sockets can be moved inwards into the hollow body member to provide a socket of the correct size to engage a hexagonal bolt or nut. There is thus no longer the need to provide a number of sockets for placing on the socket wrench. The one socket will accommodate a large number of sizes.
