Abstract:
1. A socket comprising: a body made of metal, with the body including a first coupling end and a second coupling end opposite to the first coupling end, with the first coupling end including an actuating hole extending along a longitudinal axis of the body, with the actuating hole including non-circular cross sections, with the actuating hole adapted to couple with a fastener, with the second coupling end including a driving hole extending along the longitudinal axis of the body, with the driving hole having non-circular cross sections, with the driving hole adapted to couple with a driving tool, with the first coupling end including a conical section having a small diameter end and a large diameter end, with a spacing between the small diameter end and the second coupling end along the longitudinal axis smaller than a spacing between the large diameter end and the second coupling end along the longitudinal axis, with the conical section having increasing diameters perpendicular to the longitudinal axis away from the second coupling end, with the diameter of the large diameter end perpendicular to the longitudinal axis larger than the diameter of the small diameter end perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and a reinforcing sleeve made of metal, with the sleeve mounted around the conical section of the body and increase a strength of the socket.
