Abstract
A socket structure includes a socket having a first end provided with a drive portion and a second end provided with an operation portion. The drive portion is provided with a driving hole for mounting a driving tool. The operation portion is provided with an operation hole for mounting a nut or a screw. The operation hole is provided with multiple engaging faces arranged symmetrically. Viewed from a top view, each of the engaging faces is provided with a deflection angle with a center of the operation hole served as a center of circle. Viewed from a side view, each of the engaging faces has an upper end provided with a vertical portion perpendicular to a horizontal plane, and has a lower end provided with a tapered portion having an obtuse angle relative to the horizontal plane.
