Abstract
In socket wrench of the present invention there is provided a storage cavity in the handle thereof for housing an attachable socket storage means or holder. Socket holder comprises a side plate and a cover plate being linked to each other in a L-shaped arrangement, the side plate having mid longitudinal portion thereof formed into a narrow and elongate guide slot for engagement and movement therein of a plurality of mounting stubs. Each stub is to receive a socket member to be mounted thereon. Prior to use of the socket wrench, socket holder can be drawn out therefrom, thereby reducing the weight in the handle advantageous to the manipulation of the wrench, and the upstanding disposition of the socket members of various sizes inside the holder allows removal of one socket member from the other members even more conveniently.
