ABSTRACT:
In a tool holder for retaining an Allen or socket wrench, or the like, during the application of manual force to the holder, the holder includes a socket being forwardly disposed and provided for reception of one of the aforementioned wrenches, the socket is rotatably held within a socket control housing, with the control being pivotally mounted to a clevis integrally formed at the forward end of the handle. In another embodiment, the handle integrally surrounds the socket control housing so as to provide a direct hold upon the tool holder. The socket control of each embodiment contains a serrated sleeve therein, with said sleeve being pressure fitted within the control, the interior of the sleeve forming a ratchet, and which ratchet acts upon a shiftable pawl provided in the downward portion of the socket, thereby providing a positive female drive for the tool holder upon any wrench held by the same.
The socket handle is elongated and contains a cavity for accommodating other tools, such as wrenches, whereas in the alternate model, the handle surrounding the socket control housing includes a slideable pin that can be laterally projecting for facilitating the application of force and resultant torque upon the tool holder and its held wrench.
