        Description: |  
| Tongues on the sockets slide into a slot in the shank, and are held in position by a rotating collar with interrupted interior lugs. The lugs line up with a groove on the exterior of the shank and notches in tongues on the sockets.   The collar is held from inadvertent rotation by paired spring pressed balls.
