A socket assembly includes an outer socket, an inner socket mounted in the outer socket, and an intermediate socket mounted in the outer socket. The outer socket has a plurality of drive blocks and a plurality of retaining grooves. The inner socket includes a first base, a plurality of first driving sections, and a plurality of first openings. The intermediate socket includes a second base, a plurality of second driving sections, and a plurality of second openings. Thus, the inner diameter defined between the first driving sections is smaller than that defined between the second driving sections by 2 mm, and the inner diameter defined between the second driving sections is smaller than that defined between the drive blocks by 2 mm, so that the inner socket, the intermediate socket and the outer socket co-operate to operate three successive sizes of nuts.

A nut driver for driving nuts of various sizes includes an elongated housing with opposing driver and handle ends. The driver end is open and assumes a largest size. A rigid collar and plunger are fixed about the housing and positioned at any of a number of selectable radial positions, each of which is associated with a different nut size. A plurality of nested sockets are each slidably movable by the plunger between forward and rearward positions. Each socket has a foot adapted for contacting the plunger at one of the selectable radial positions. The elongated housing is preferably separated into two sections, including a handle and a two-sided socket mechanism that includes two opposing driver ends each having sockets of different sizes.

A 4-in-1 multiple socket driver has an outer hexagonal sleeve with two ends each having one of a first intermediate large and second largest hexagonal sockets. A hand grippable handle is formed over an intermediate section of the outer sleeve. An inner hexagonal shaft with two ends each having one of a third smallest and fourth intermediate small hexagonal sockets. The inner shaft is adapted to slidably fit within the outer hex sleeve while being rotationally locked to the outer hexagonal sleeve. An axial locking mechanism is provided between the outer hexagonal sleeve and the inner hexagonal shaft to selectively present two of the four hexagonal sockets at any one time for operational use and to effectively lock the inner hexagonal shaft within the out hexagonal sleeve.

A two-size socket tool is provided, wherein the two-size socket tool includes: an outer sleeve including a socket hole, a receiving hole in communication with the socket hole, and a radial protrusion radially protruding between the socket hole and the receiving hole; an inner sleeve non-rotatably inserted in the outer sleeve and including an inner sleeving portion and a connection section connected to each other by insertion, the inner sleeving portion being received in the socket hole and blockable by the radial protrusion, the connection section extending from the inner sleeving portion toward the receiving hole; and a first elastic member received in the receiving hole and between the radial protrusion and the inner sleeve.

A nut driver for driving a nut within a range of nut sizes includes a housing. An open driver end thereof assumes a largest size of the nut sizes, and a selector end thereof terminates in a rotational knob that is positionable at any of a number of selectable radial positions. A cam is rotationally fixed with the knob and within the housing and terminates at a forward end with a selector ramp. A plurality of plungers are each slidably fixed within the housing and at a rear end thereof engage the selector ramp. Each plunger terminates at a forward end at a notched socket selector. A plurality of nested sockets each assume one of the different nut sizes and are slidably movable by at least one of the elongated plungers between a forward position within the open driver end of the housing and a rearward position.

A ratchet wrench structure includes a main body provided therein with a ratchet wheel, an actuating member and a restraining block positioned between the ratchet wheel and the actuating member. The restraining member has one side provided with two recessed portions, and the actuating member is provided with a position-limiting groove corresponding with the recessed portion, and an elastic member. When the actuating member is rotated, the elastic member will be actuated to push the recessed portion to have its front edge longitudinally and evenly pressing the recessed portion to enable the elastic member to support the restraining block in its entirety. Further, when the restraining block is stressed by rotation of the ratchet wheel, the restraining block can carry out reciprocating movement because of extension and contraction of the elastic member. Thus, the ratchet wrench structure can be simplified in number of components.

A pivotal multisocket comprising an outer socket body with two socket ends, at least one slidable sleeve with a interior passage, and a pivot hinge for pivoting the multisocket to multiple operational positions and a stowed position. The sleeves are user slidable between at least two usable positions to provide four or more gripping surface sizes for the pivotal multisocket.

A two-size socket tool is provided, wherein the two-size socket tool includes: an outer sleeve including a socket hole, a receiving hole in communication with the socket hole, and a radial protrusion radially protruding between the socket hole and the receiving hole; an inner sleeve non-rotatably inserted in the outer sleeve and including an inner sleeving portion and a connection section connected to each other by insertion, the inner sleeving portion being received in the socket hole and blockable by the radial protrusion, the connection section extending from the inner sleeving portion toward the receiving hole; and a first elastic member received in the receiving hole and between the radial protrusion and the inner sleeve.

A screwing tool includes an elongate shaft which has, at each of its two ends, an output profile for insertion into a screwing tool insertion opening of a screw, and comprising a first insert and a second insert, which inserts: are each axially slidably arranged for conjoint rotation in a first and second cavity which are open toward an end face of the output profiles; each form, by means of their ends protruding from the cavity, an output profile; when in a position protruding from the cavity, are each supported, by means of a stop, on a counter-stop of the shaft; and can, by applying an axial force, be moved into the respective cavity against the restoring force of a spring element arranged in a chamber extending between the first cavity and the second cavity.

A socket structure for a hand operated tool includes a first body, a second body, a first elastic member, and a first locking member. The first body is provided with a first rotation portion, a first mounting portion, a first abutting face, a second mounting portion, a second abutting face, and a perforation. The second body is movable in the first mounting portion and non-rotatable relative to the first mounting portion. The second body is provided with a first fitting portion, a third mounting portion, a first receiving groove, a first limit portion, and a second receiving groove. The first elastic member provides a restoring force to the second body. The first locking member extends through the first body and the second body, to prevent the second body from being detached from the first mounting portion.
