ABSTRACT:
A socket mounting arrangement to receive a socket or other driving tool which may be mounted to a drive shaft, rigid extension, flexible extension, screwdriver handle having a rigid extension, screwdriver handle ratchet, screw driver handle flexible extension or incorporated within a driving tool such as a ratchet wrench or other ratcher driver. The socket mounting arrangement may be utilized with an extension for such a driving tool, whereby the extension defines a female drive tool end with a selected geometrically configured cross section for cooperative removable attachment to a mating male shaft of a driving tool. The socket mounting arrangement extension utilizes a coaxial sleeve on the extension shaft which is pushed outwardly toward the socket to release the socket. The socket mounting arrangement locks the socket onto the extension or other tool so that the socket cannot fall off without disengagement by movement of the coaxial sleeve.
