ABSTRACT:
A wirenut driver includes a ratchet ball which drives a socket. The ratchet ball is formed with a center opening which allows the ratchet ball to receive a stem of the socket in either end thereof for rotation in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. The socket is formed with a center bore. The center bore is formed by a plurality of alternating channels and ribs which engage complementary shaped channels and ribs of a wirenut. Rotation of the ratchet ball produces rotation of the socket and wirenut for attaching the wirenut to a plurality of wires for electrically connecting the wires together. A pair of slots are formed in an open end of the socket adjacent the center bore for receiving a wingnut-type wirenut. The inner surface of the center bore may be stepped or tapered to receive various sizes of wirenuts.
