Illuminating nut driver

A new and improved illuminating nut driver for lighting the area of nut placement comprising in combination:

• a hollow torque handle having a distal end, a proximal end and a middle portion, the distal end having a threaded interior, the proximal end having an opening with a key way therein, the torque handle having a circular cross section, the handle having a plurality of linearly extending grooves for enhancing the gripping capabilities of the handle;
• a hollow driver shaft having a cylindrical nut driver at a first end and a key member at a second end, the nut driver and the key member being integral with the shaft, the key member of the driver shaft configured for coupling with the key way of the torque handle for being locked therein, the driver shaft having been locked within the torque handle and being axially relative to the handle for use;
• a lamp receptacle being positioned within the torque handle near the proximal end, the lamp receptacle having a lamp detachably mounted therein, the lamp receptacle having a conductive strip positioned therein and in contact with the lamp, the conductive strip extending along an interior of the torque handle with a contact end at the distal end of the handle;
• a generally cylindrical end cap having a switch contained therein, the end cap configured for threadably engaging with the threaded interior of the distal end of the handle, the switch having a contact tip projecting from a top portion of the cap, the switch having a contact strip extending therefrom and into the end cap, the contact strip of the switch having a contact end along a shelf of the end cap, the cap being threadably coupled with the handle allowing the contact tip to be in contact with a battery being positioned within the torque handle;
• and
• the contact strip of the cap being flush with the contact end of the conductive strip of the handle, the contact strip of the cap being in contact with the conductive strip of the handle for the passage of a current through to the lamp, the current being passed when the switch being turned on by pushing a switch button on the cap, the switch button being pushed allows the battery and the lamp to be in electrical contact for illumination of the lamp, whereby light passes from the handle down the driver shaft and through the nut driver.
