Patent ID: 7975576

Claim:
A low profile driver tool comprising: a drive lug extending a drive lug length from a shoulder to a distal surface including a plurality of lateral surfaces defining a drive lug cross section adapted to matingly engage a drive receptacle of a standard socket, the drive lug length reduced by a first ratio relative to a corresponding length of a standard drive lug having the drive lug cross section; and a detent member disposed in a detent member cavity extending into one of the lateral surfaces and having a diameter reduced by a second ratio relative to a corresponding diameter of a standard detent member of the standard drive lug, the detent member cavity adapted to align the detent member with a proximal portion of a standard socket detent recess of the standard socket, the detent member cavity having a centerline spaced a centerline distance from the shoulder, the centerline distance being less than a corresponding distance from a standard drive shoulder to a standard centerline of a standard detent cavity of the standard drive lug.
