  • Product typeNut Drivers

  • 5 in shank reaches recessed fixings easily

What It Is

The Westward 1YXL5 is a 1/2 inch hollow insulated nutdriver built for electrical and general fastening work. Its insulated shaft protects against live circuits up to the rated voltage, while the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use. The 5 inch shank reaches recessed fasteners in panels and enclosures.

Build & Connectors

The solid round shank provides rigidity for torque application without flex, and the hollow design clears bolt threads up to 1 inch deep. Insulation covers the shaft for safety, and the molded handle offers a secure grip in oily or wet conditions. No magnetic tip means fasteners will not cling during positioning.

Practical Limits

The tool fits SAE 1/2 inch hex fasteners only and does not hold screws magnetically. It is not rated for impact drivers or powered torque tools, so manual use is required. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemicals in the materials. Buyers needing metric sizes or magnetic retention should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How deep a bolt can the 1/2 in hollow nutdriver clear?

The hollow shaft provides 1 in of bolt clearance so long fasteners pass through without bottoming out.

What handle diameter and length does the ergonomic grip add to a tool belt?

The moulded ergonomic handle fits a standard 5 in shank and stays compact in a pouch or belt loop.

Does the insulated coating require any special preparation before first use on live circuits?

No preparation is needed; the insulation is factory-applied and rated for the voltage marked on the tool.
