A hand tool that drives, and selectively illuminates through, a conventional socket, and which includes a handle, a shaft, a tip, and illuminating apparatus. The handle has a throughbore. The shaft is fixedly received in the handle and has a throughbore that communicates with the throughbore in the handle. The tip extends from the shaft and engages in the conventional socket and has a throughbore that communicates with the throughbore in the shaft. The illuminating apparatus includes a fiber optic strand, a module, and a light. The fiber optic strand extends in the throughbores in the handle, the shaft, and the tip. The module is replaceably attached to the handle and includes a case and a dial switch. The case holds a battery, contains a battery interface, and has a throughbore and a collar that threadably engages in the handle. The collar has a throughbore that communicates with the throughbore in the case and the throughbore in the handle. The light sits in the throughbore in the case, electrically communicates with the battery interface, and illuminates through the throughbore in the collar and through the fiber optic strand so as to illuminate through the conventional socket. The dial switch is rotatably mounted to the case and electrically communicates with the battery interface so as to selectively illuminate the light when rotated accordingly.
