Abstract:
1. A wrench for use in limited access areas to tighten or remove nuts and bolts, said wrench comprising: a hollow cylindrical socket having vertically fluted interior walls; and a handle assembly comprising a horizontal shaft and a cylindrical head fixedly attached to one end of the shaft, said head having a vertically fluted exterior to complement the fluted interior walls of the socket, and the head being insertable into the socket for driving rotation thereof by movement of the shaft through an arc; whereby when the socket is placed over a nut or bolt and the head is inserted into the top of the socket the shaft can be rotated thereby causing the socket and the nut or bolt to be rotated with it and thereafter the head is lifted clear of the socket, returned to the starting position, and reinserted into the socket so the shaft can be rotated again, and these steps are repeated as needed to tighten or remove the nut or bolt.
