摘要

An improved design socket for a socket wrench is provided with an outer protruding ring (30) which prevents a loose socket from rolling in a straight line, i.e. the socket rolls in a small circle and is not easily lost. The ring can be a simple clip fitting using a C-clip locating in a groove and can have any suitable outer profile, e.g. ring, polygonal, conical etc.
