Abstract: An improved wrench socket of the type having twelve point recesses and suitable for use with fasteners having a tool engagement portion having a plurality of substantially planar engagement surfaces having at least one elongated magnetic member secured to at least one surface partially defining a point recess of the socket, the magnetic member being shaped in a manner such that at least a portion of each magnetic member extends up to a line drawn between a first and second edge of the point recess. The term "edge of the point recess" is used herein to refer to the portion of the socket formed by the convergence of one side of a first point recess with a side of a second point recess.
