7/16 in insulated nut driver
This Westward 1YXL4 nut driver fits 7/16 in fasteners with a 5 in solid round shank. The insulated handle is designed for electrical work where live circuits may be present. It is a hand tool for professional and DIY use. The hollow shaft allows bolt clearance up to 1 in.
Practical limits of insulated hand tools
Insulation protects against incidental contact but does not replace lockout procedures or rated PPE. The tool is not ESD safe and has no magnetic tip to hold fasteners. Users must verify voltage ratings for their specific application before use. Damage to the insulation layer removes the protection entirely.
7/16 in tip size decides fit
The 7/16 in tip matches only that fastener size; other bolt heads require a different driver. Shank length and bolt clearance are fixed by the 5 in and 1 in dimensions. Select this part only when the fastener and clearance match these exact figures.

- 7/16 in tip fits common fasteners

Questions about this item
What does the 7/16 in tip size mean for fastener fit?
The 7/16 in tip matches SAE fasteners of that exact size, giving a snug fit on nuts and bolts without rounding corners.
How does the 5 in shank length affect reach in a real job?
A 5 in shank extends your reach into recessed engine bays or electrical panels while keeping your hand clear of hot or moving parts.
What does the insulated rating cap in practice?
The insulated handle protects against accidental contact with live circuits up to the rated voltage, so you can work on energised low-voltage systems without a separate barrier.
