Cardan joint

A gimbal joint, often referred to as a gimbal, is a mechanical accessory designed for gola sets. It is used to transmit rotational motion between two shafts whose axes are not parallel. In the context of tools, this part is sandwiched between a ratchet, a handle with a switching mechanism, and a socket wrench, commonly called a "nut". Its main function is to allow tightening or loosening of bolts and nuts in places that are impossible to reach with the ratchet in a straight line. The design of the joint allows the handle to be deflected sideways while the nut remains seated on the screw head. This allows efficient work in confined and angularly inaccessible spaces, such as a car engine or more complex machinery where direct access would be blocked by other components. The joint also transfers torque from the handle to the nut at an angle, making it a solution for specific assembly and service tasks.
