A wrench handle being elongated in a predetermined direction and having at least a portion thereof being substantially hollow, said hollow portion having a front part and a rear part, the front part of said hollow portion being formed having a substantially square shaped opening being surrounded by four walls extending in the direction of which said handle is elongated, said square shaped opening further being formed to receive a driving member of a socket extension bar having a similar square shape when viewed from an end-view thereof, the rear part of the hollow portion of said handle having a distal open end, whereby, the socket extension bar may be inserted into the rear part of said hollow portion of said handle with the driving member of said socket extension bar entering into the square shaped opening at the front part of the hollow portion of said wrench handle, whereby, said socket extension bar may be substantially housed and detachably secured within the hollow portion of said wrench handle.
A wrench comprising a wrench head and handle;
- said wrench head comprising a driving member formed having a predetermined configuration;
- and,
- said wrench handle being elongated in a predetermined direction and having at least a portion thereof being substantially hollow, said hollow portion having a front part and a rear part, the front part of said hollow portion being formed having a substantially square shaped opening being surrounded by four walls extending in the direction of which said handle is elongated, said square shaped opening further being formed to receive a driving member of a socket extension bar having a similar square shape when viewed from an end-view thereof, the rear part of the hollow portion of said handle having a distal open end, whereby, the socket extension bar may be inserted into the rear part of said hollow portion of said handle with the driving member of said socket extension bar entering into the square shaped opening at the front part of the hollow portion of said wrench handle, whereby, said socket extension bar may be substantially housed and detachably secured within the hollow portion of said wrench handle.
A combination of a socket extension bar and a ratchet wrench, said combination comprising:
- said socket extension bar being elongated having two ends with a head at one end and a driving member at the other end thereof, the head having a cavity formed therein with a predetermined configuration, the driving member being formed with a predetermined configuration, said socket extension bar further having predetermined length and width dimensions;
- and,
- said ratchet wrench having a wrench head and handle;
- said wrench head comprising a ratcheting mechanism and a driving member formed with a predetermined configuration;
- said wrench handle being elongated in a predetermined direction and having at least a portion thereof being substantially hollow, said hollow portion having a front part and a rear part, the front part of said hollow portion being formed having a substantially square shaped opening surrounded by four walls extending in the direction of which said handle is elongated, said square shaped opening further being formed to receive the driving member of said socket extension bar, the rear part of the hollow portion of said handle having a distal open end, whereby, the socket extension bar may be inserted into the rear part of the hollow portion of said handle with the driving member of said socket extension bar entering into the square shaped opening at the front part of the hollow portion of said wrench handle, whereby, said socket extension bar may be substantially housed and detachably secured within the hollow portion of said wrench handle.
