Abstract (en)

A socket for tightening, loosening or holding a hexagonal part (5) underneath a substantially equally sized hexagonal nut (4) has a socket body (8) having an axial portion (11) to be applied on the hexagonal part (5), the axial portion having an inner opening (12) provided with six radially outwardly extending recesses (13) each having, as considered in a circumferential direction, at least one flank (14) adapted to interact with at least one side of the hexagonal part (5), the recesses being formed so that the portion (11) of the socket body (8) can be axially fitted over the hexagonal nut (4) not only when sides of the hexagonal part (5) coincide with sides of the hexagonal nut (4), but also when the sides of the hexagonal part (5) are circumferentially offset from the sides of the hexagonal nut (4). <IMAGE>
