A tool adapter with a collar and a plurality of socket adapters is provided. The device includes an elongated shaft having an attaching end and a working end. A spring partially encircles the elongated shaft and is coupled to a collar. The spring biases the collar towards the working end of the elongated shaft. The collar is slidable along the elongated shaft. The collar partially encases a pivoting connector. The plurality of socket adapters is disposed on the pivoting connector. One or more removable locking pins secures the collar in position over the pivoting connector. A pair of parallel arms are disposed on opposing sides of the working end. The pivoting connector may freely rotate between a pair of parallel arms at a connecting point when the collar is slid towards the attaching end.
