ABSTRACT:
A socket for driving a wing nut or the like comprises a cylindrical housing having a bore at one end for receiving the wing nut therein. A port at the opposed end of the housing receives the end of a shank of a driving tool such as a ratchet or the like. First and second pairs of radially offset slots are positioned within the housing and about the bore, the slots having relatively different widths and/or lengths. Upon insertion of a wing nut within the bore, the wings thereof extend through the opposed slots of a pair of slots. The relatively-sized widths and/or lengths of the first and second pairs of slots enable a wide range of wing nuts to be driven by one socket.
