Tool holding apparatus
A tool holding apparatus has a socket holder and a retaining knob. The socket holder is an elongated body. A channel traverses into the elongated body and is extended along the elongated body. The retaining knob receives a drive socket and has a male body, a pedestal and a base. The male body is connected to the pedestal. The base is connected to the pedestal, opposite of the male body. The base and the pedestal are slidably engaged within the channel, and the male body is externally positioned to the elongated body. A magnet or a spring loaded ball is integrated into the elongated body or the male body.
