Abstract
A connector includes a body provided with a polygonal drive end that may be driven by a tool, the drive end provided with an engaging portion, and an urging body secured on the drive end of the body, and provided with an engaging portion engaged with the engaging portion of the drive end of the body, so that the tool is urged and secured between the urging body and the drive end of the body. Thus, the body of the connector and the tool may be combined integrally, whereby the connector may be exactly secured on the tool, so that the tool may function as a ratchet wrench.
