ABSTRACT:
An adjustable socket for a socket wrench or the like has a body member with two side plates, and between the side plates are jaw members which are concurrently movable parallel to the side plates to adjust the space between confronting jaw elements on the free ends of the jaw members. Pin and slot connections are used to change the positions of the jaw members. One embodiment of the invention provides for automatic adjustment when the socket is pushed against a hex-head fastener; and a second embodiment provides for manual adjustment by sliding an operating yoke forwardly on the body member.
