ABSTRACT:
A socket wrench includes a handle bearing shaft and a socket member. The shaft carries a handle at one end thereof and has an opposing terminal end that tapers in opposite directions and evinces a polygonal cross-section. This terminal end is retained within a first bore provided in one section of the socket member. The first bore is also polygonal in shape such that the shaft drivingly engages the socket member. The terminal end of the shaft is retained in the first bore through a slotted connection in order to permit relative angular movement between the shaft and the socket member while maintaining the positive drive connection therebetween. The socket member includes another section that defines an internal, polygon-shaped socket for receiving a nut or the head of a bolt to be manipulated through the use of the wrench. This socket opens into a second bore formed in the section of the socket member containing the first bore. This second bore is adapted to receive a portion of a swingbolt or the like upon tightening of the same with the socket wrench. An arcuate notch is also formed along an arcuate portion of the socket in order to aid in accessing and removing the socket member from a nut or bolt when an auxiliary connector or the like is obstructing the path of the socket wrench.
