Socket for driving asymmetric fastener heads

A socket for transmitting torque to a fastener, comprising:

• a. a socket body;
• said socket body having a fastener drive end with a plurality of internal fastener engaging surfaces defining an axially facing fastener keyway configured to receive an asymmetric fastener head, said fastener engaging surfaces being configured to engage said fastener head so as to transmit torque from said socket body to said asymmetric fastener head when received into said fastener keyway;
• and
• b. a socket drive end arranged axially opposite said fastener drive end, said socket drive end configured with a drive element consisting of at least one of a drive keyway and a drive key arranged to couple with a torque inducing mechanism, said drive element being offset from the axial center so as to cause said socket body to rotate about a non-central axis extending distally through said socket body through the center of said drive socket from said drive end of said socket body to said fastener end of said socket body and parallel to an axis extending distally through the center of said socket body from said drive end of said socket body to said fastener end of said socket body.
