ABSTRACT:
An attachment to a socket wrench and the like carries a rocker arm in a recess in the body of the attachment. The rocker arm rocks about a shaft inserted transversely of the arm in a pair of apertures in the attachment body. At one end of the arm a compression spring seated in a concavity in the attachment body urges a detent carried on the other end of the arm to enter through an opening into the engaging receptacle at the other end of the body.
A nut forced into the engaging receptacle cams the end of the detent outwardly of the receptacle, and when the nut is seated, the action of the spring on the arm causes the nut to be retained. By simply pressing on the arm against the spring, the spring may be further compressed to release a nut in the engaging receptacle.
