Abstract
A tool with socket means for connecting the tool to an ordinary ratchet wrench or the like. The tool includes an offset head portion having socket means, the head portion located in the rearward end for attaching the tool to a ratchet wrench or the like. The forward body portion can be a wedge-shaped, two-prong fork means that is used for spreading, prying, pulling and lifting or it can be an elongated telescoping rollerhead that is used to straighten a piece of metal or essentially any other forward body portion. The offset head portion with socket means not only allows attachment to any ordinary ratchet wrench or the like but it also allows the operator to use the tool when attached to the rachet in extremely confining places whereas a tool not disclosed by the invention could not effectively work.
