Abstract:
A socket support adapter includes an elongate extensible and retractable body including housings at opposite ends thereof. Male socket elements having gears thereon project from the housings and each male socket element is shaped to accommodate a female socket element or the adapter element of a drive ratchet. An elongate drive shaft is positioned within the adapter body and has gears secured to opposite ends thereof which mesh with gears on the male socket elements. Rotation of one of the male socket elements by a drive ratchet in one direction will rotate the other male socket in the same direction.
