Abstract:
A hexagonal wrench socket adapter for use with a ratchet wrench, said adapter comprising:a linearly, elongated outer housing terminating at two opposing ends; a first end said first end formed at a terminal end of said outer housing, said first end having a cylindrical outer surface; a hexagonal receiving cavity formed in said first end and receives a long shaft of a hexagonal wrench; a second end, said second end formed at a terminal end opposite said first end, said second end having a horizontally planar surface; and a block protuberance receiving cavity formed in said second end, said block protuberance receiving cavity having a central axis, said axis being perpendicular to said planar surface and said hexagonal receiving cavity, said block protuberance receiving cavity is of a size that allows receipt of an attachment protuberance of said ratchet wrench for purposes of providing a rotational driving torque to the hexagonal wrench.
