Abstract

Aligned sliding jaw key set for use with any standard ratchet wrench. The device is adaptable to being made up in kits that include three jaw keys in different sizes so that they replace nine to twelve solid sockets of different sizes in metric and American standards. Each of the jaw keys has a set of jaws each one of which is provided with an angular gripping portion able to fit and hold tightly onto the sides of nuts and bolts.
