Ratchet wrench for storage of nested sockets

The present invention is related to an improved wrench for storing sockets. More particularly, the wrench of the present invention compactly stores exchangeable sockets on a tray that is inserted into the handle of the wrench. A ratchet wrench with a wrench head, a handle and a tray provides compact and easily accessible storage of sockets. The handle defines a chamber in which the tray is stored. The tray has a back side and a stepped slot shaped and sized to retain sets of nested sockets. The tray defines at least one aperture which corresponds with the storage position of a first socket in each set of nested sockets. The aperture provides access to the first socket from the back side of the tray and facilitates dislodging of the first socket. Once the first socket is dislodged, the entire set of nested sockets is easily removed.
