The present invention includes a driven socket for a female threaded fastener formed from hexagonal steel stock or trilobe, D shaped stock, or round stock with other gripping or holding means. The driven socket also includes six radial lobes located adjacent to one of the hexagon of equal length sides and equidistant from the center of the fastener for loosening and tightening the fastener. A method of the present invention includes the steps for removing or tightening a threaded fastener from a corresponding bolt comprising the steps of: positioning a socket over a washer-nut; positioning a key to align a locking ring having tabs into a slot in the fastener to hold the socket securely to the locking fastener; engaging a lobe on the fastener to place pressure on a leveraging portion of the socket; and wherein rotating the socket removes or tightens the fastener.
