A hand tool comprises: a handle, a cavity, and a drive adapter. The handle is disposed at a proximal end of the hand tool. The cavity is disposed at a distal end of the hand tool. The drive adapter is disposed in the cavity to rotate about an axis of the hand tool. In one embodiment, the drive adapter includes a hollowed volume extending through the drive adapter from a first opening at a tip of the drive adapter to a second opening (such as an a sidewall) of the drive adapter into the cavity. According to one configuration, the hollowed volume extends from the tip of the drive adapter to multiple openings disposed on a respective sidewall of the drive adapter. A respective sidewall of the drive adapter including one or more openings is free from contacting a circumferential surface in the hand tool defining the cavity.
