Abstract
An anti-rolling socket includes a socket body, a groove, a through hole, and a stopper. The socket body has an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface. The groove is disposed in, and along the circumference of, the inner peripheral surface. The through hole is disposed between the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface and communicates with the groove. The stopper includes a stop ring and a stop section. The stop ring is fitted in the groove. The stop section is connected to the stop ring. The stop section projects from the through hole and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface. The stop section can abut against a flat surface to prevent the socket body from rolling on the flat surface.
