Abstract

A deep socket which has two ends, where each end is configured to engage a pair of different sized nuts. Preferably, one end of the deep socket is configured to engage either a 3/4 inch or 13/16 inch square nut, and the other end of the deep socket is configured to engage either a 1 inch or 1-and-1/8 inch square nut. Preferably, the deep socket is configured such that the deep socket can be used to turn a nut fully down on a threaded rod which extends up to eight inches including a nut on the threaded rod. Preferably, the socket includes a body that provides a bore that is configured to accept the threaded rod when the socket is used to turn the nut down on the threaded rod. Preferably, each end of the socket is configured to be engaged with a 3/4 inch square adapter. Ideally, each end is configured to engage a spring pin locking mechanism which is provided on the adapter such that the socket tends to remain engaged with the adapter. The adapter may be of the hex drive type, or may be configured for a square drive, such as a 1/2 inch square drive. Preferably, the adapter is configured such that the socket can be driven using conventional hydraulic, air or electric rotary tools, such as with a hydraulic gun, an air gun or an electric drill.
