Description

The Wera 8740 A HF Zyklop VDE Insulated 1/4" Drive Hexagon Bit Socket in 3mm is the smallest in this range, making it the go-to choice for compact fasteners and intricate electrical work where precision and safety are paramount. The 3mm size is particularly well suited to delicate assemblies and smaller hex socket screws commonly found in electrical enclosures and control panels. The built-in holding function keeps screws firmly on the tool as you feed them into the workpiece, preventing costly drops in hard-to-reach locations. Two-component VDE insulation — a yellow core beneath the outer red layer — provides a clear visual warning if the insulation is ever compromised, adding a vital extra layer of protection. Features and Benefits: • Individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V — approved for safe working up to 1,000 V • Holding function secures screws to the tool during insertion • Two-component insulation with yellow core visible if outer red layer is damaged • Extremely compact design for working in confined spaces • Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage • For hexagonal socket head screws Contents: 8740 A VDE HF Zyklop Bit socket, insulated, with 1/4" drive, with holding function for hexagonal socket screws, 3 x 45 mm Specifications: Drive Size: 1/4" Hex Size: 3mm Overall Length: 45mm Test Voltage: 10,000 V Approved Working Voltage: 1,000 V
