Abstract
A socket for transmitting torque from different types of wrenches to a fastener includes an elongated socket body. The body has a fastener engaging end with a plurality of internal fastener engaging surfaces defining an axially facing internal fastener engaging opening. The fastener engaging surfaces are configured to engage with the fastener. The body includes a drive end having an axially facing internal drive opening configured to receive a socket mounting portion from a socket driving type of wrench. The drive end of the socket body also has a series of external flat drive surfaces circumferentially separated by external surfaces having a smaller circumferential width. The flat surfaces are configured to be engaged by inwardly facing drive surfaces of an external driving type wrench. The socket body is tapered axially between the drive end and the fastener engaging end, with the drive end being wider than the fastener engaging end.
