Abstract

A socket device includes a body defining a first aperture on the first end. A cavity extends into the body from the first aperture and is configured to receive a nut or bolt. A first channel extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body. The first channel is adjacent to the first end of the body extending between the inner surface and an outer surface of the body. A first retainer is disposed within the first channel. The first retainer includes a first end adjacent to the inner surface of the body that is biased radially inward towards the cavity. The first retainer is moveable between: (i) a first position wherein the first retainer extends into the cavity to retain the nut or bolt within the cavity; and (ii) a second position wherein the first retainer retracts radially outward to release the nut or bolt.
