8740 HF Zyklop VDE Insulated 1 4" Drive Hexagon Bit Socket

The Wera 8740 A HF Zyklop VDE Insulated 1/4" Drive Hexagon Bit Socket in 8mm is the largest in this range, designed for heavier hex socket fasteners found in larger electrical assemblies, industrial switchgear, and robust mechanical installations. The 8mm size is well suited to applications requiring greater torque, and the 1/4" drive ensures it integrates seamlessly into the Zyklop ratchet system. Despite handling larger fasteners, the socket retains the same compact overall profile that makes this range so effective in confined working environments. The holding function grips screws firmly throughout insertion, while the two-component VDE insulation — yellow inner core beneath the outer red layer — provides instant visual confirmation of any insulation wear or damage, keeping you safe on live electrical work.

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
• Compact design for working in confined spaces even with larger fasteners
• 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, 8 x 47 mm
