  2. Socket wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_wrench

    For example, a 14-inch to 3 ⁄ 8-inch adapter allows sockets with 14-inch drive holes to attach to a 3 ⁄ 8-inch ratchet, and so on. Universal joints are two articulated socket joints (about 1 inch (25 mm) long) combined at a right angle, that allow a bend in the turning axis of the wrench and socket.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

    A square screw drive uses four-sided fastener heads which can be turned with an adjustable wrench, open-end wrench, or 8- or 12-point [69] sockets. Common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was easier and cheaper to manufacture than most other drives, it is less common today (although still easy to find) because the external hex is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key

    The idea of a hex socket screw drive was probably conceived as early as the 1860s to the 1890s, but such screws were probably not manufactured until around 1910. Rybczynski (2000) describes a flurry of patents for alternative drive types in the 1860s to the 1890s in the U.S., [2] which are confirmed to include internal-wrenching square and triangle types (that is, square and triangular sockets ...

    The terms "Allen wrench" (American English, though "Allen key" is also common in the US) and "Allen key" (British English) [3] are derived from the Allen brand name and refer to the generic product category "hex keys". W.G. Allen [4] filed the first related patent in 1909 for its recessed hex-driven safety screws, [5] a safety improvement over ...

  6. Torx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx

    The Torx design allows for a higher torque to be exerted than a similarly sized conventional hex socket head without damaging the head or the tool. [1] The diagram depicts the interaction between the male and female components of a conventional hex drive and a Torx drive. The clearance between the components is exaggerated for clarity.

  7. Wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrench

    A type of wrench designed to use the same drive sizes as socket wrenches, but non-cylindrical in shape. The ends are the same as those found on the open-end, box-end, or the flare-nut wrenches. These wrenches are used when torque must be measured, or when the application precludes the use of a regular socket or wrench.
