Multiple socket wrench

A tool for driving hexagonal head fastening members comprising:

• A. a plurality of tubular socket means coaxially housed within each other and each one of said socket means having upper and lower ends, said lower ends having a socket termination that cooperatively receives said head of said fastening member and the inner diameters of said plurality of tubular socket means decreasing from the upper ends to the lower ends except for said socket termination;
• and wherein each one of said tubular socket means, except the largest one, further include ring cover means removably mounted substantially adjacent to said upper ends of said tubular socket means so that a suitable support surface is provided to the associated spring means to exert the necessary force to push the adjacent smaller tubular socket means out;
• and furthermore wherein each one of said tubular socket means further includes retaining ring means for keeping said ring cover means in place;
• and
• B. a corresponding plurality of spring means for urging each of said socket means outwardly from the adjacent larger socket means that houses the adjacent smaller socket means with the exception of the largest socket means so that said plurality of tubular socket means is kept in coaxial abuttment against each other;
• and wherein said plurality spring means have a coefficient of compression that requires a greater compression force than spring means housed by smaller tubular socket means;
• and
• C. a crank socket assembly removably mounted to the upper end of the largest of said socket means and further including lever means for imparting a rotational force to said crank socket assembly.
