Bit and socket combination

A tool combination for transmitting torque from a drive lug of a driver to a workpiece, comprising:

• a unitary one-piece socket member having a drive end and a bit end and a longitudinal hole therethrough from end to end, said hole having an open drive portion adjacent to said drive end for receiving the drive lug in driven engagement therewith and a bit portion adjacent to said bit end and a retaining portion between said drive portion and said bit portion, a first shoulder in said hole between said retaining portion and said bit portion facing said drive end, a second shoulder in said hole between said retaining portion and said drive portion facing said drive end and disposed for engagement with the drive lug when it is received in said drive portion, and an elongated bit having an application end engageable with the workpiece and a coupling end and laterally extending projection means adjacent to said coupling end, said application end of said bit being insertable in and removable from said hole from said drive end thereof with said projection means being engageable with said first shoulder to limit the depth of insertion at a working position wherein said application end of said bit projects outwardly beyond said bit end of said socket member, said coupling end having an end surface substantially coplanar with said second shoulder when said projection means is disposed in engagement with said first shoulder.
