Abstract:
A ratchet wrench assembly with gripping surface comprising in combination:a ratchet wrench including a first end extent with a cylindrical configuration having a first diameter and an outer surface, an intermediate extent integrally coupled to the first end extent in coaxial alignment therewith with a cylindrical configuration having a second diameter less than the first diameter and an outer surface, and a second end extent having a disk-shaped head with a top circular face, a bottom circular face, and a periphery formed therebetween with an outer surface, the periphery of the head being integrally coupled to the intermediate extent, wherein the head has a cubical rotator rotatably coupled to the top face thereof;a ratchet wrench extender including a first end extent with a cylindrical configuration having a first diameter and an outer surface with the first end extent having a cubical male connector integrally coupled thereto, an intermediate extent integrally coupled to the first end extent in coaxial alignment therewith with a cylindrical configuration having a second diameter less than the first diameter and an outer surface, a second end extent with a cylindrical configuration having the first diameter and an outer surface with the second end extent having a cubical female receptor formed therein for releasably receiving the cubical rotator;at least one cylindrical socket having a first circular end face with a cubical female receptor formed therein for releasably receiving the male cubical rotator and the male connector, a second circular end face with a hexagonal female receptor, and a periphery formed therebetween with an outer surface;whereby every outer surface of the ratchet wrench including the first end extent and intermediate extent and second end extent, ratchet wrench extender, and the at least one socket having a plurality of intersecting, continuous and linear grooves of an essentially common configuration formed therein along an entirety thereof, each groove having a triangular cross-section and a common predetermined depth, the grooves configured to define a multiplicity of uniform identical parallelograms for precluding slippage.
