A multi-piece socket system (10) having a large internal cavity to allow a protrusion of a long rod or other workpiece to extend into the socket system (10). The socket section (18) has at least two pieces: a drive adaptor (20) and a socket (40), extension collar(s) (70) if used, and drive adaptor (20) form a long tubular body into which a rod or other central member may enter while the nut is being driven onto the rod. The drive adaptor (20), extensio n collars (70), and sockets (40) preferably attach together using a plurality of interlocking teeth on the ends of each member. For further stability, a spri ng biased pin (56, 86) extends from the wall of one member and through a hole (36) in the wall of the mating member. Additional attachments, such as a threaded rod (100) and drill chuck (110, 120), may also be used.
