Abstract

A socket magazine is made of a tubular body with a drive end and an open end. An O-ring lies in an annular groove in the tubular body and retains nuts in the tubular body while permitting them to squeeze past the O-ring for insertion into the magazine and removal from the magazine. A biasing spring biases the nuts toward the O-ring.
