ABSTRACT:
A socket tool for multi-faced fasteners such as nuts, bolts, and the like, having at least one resiliently biased rollably mounted retainer pin which interacts with at least one face of the multi-faced fastener to keep the multi-faced fastener received by the socket of the socket tool in axial alignment therewith irrespective of the orientation of the socket. An hexagonally shaped socket is preferred, having a resiliently biased rollably mounted retainer pin in every other face of the socket. An annular flange is provided integral with the socket wall. The annular flange has an annular slot along its periphery and further has a cut-out contiguous along every other face of the socket. Each cut-out has a width exceeding the width of the face of the socket to which it is contiguous. A retainer pin is located in each cut-out adjacent the socket. A retainer key having a straight edge and a curved edge is located in the retainer slot, the straight edge abutting the retainer pin. At least one resilient ring is located in the annular slot of the annular flange and biases against the curved edge of the retainer key causing the retainer pin to resiliently protrude into the socket, the adjacent socket walls serving as an abutment for the retainer pin.
