Wera Kraftform Plus Screwdriver - Hex Plus - 8mm - 100mm

Hex-Plus refers to Wera's proprietary design that provides larger contact surfaces within the hex socket of a screw. This reduces the 'notch effect', minimizes damage to the screw recess, and significantly lowers the risk of cam-out.

The Kraftform handle has a multi-component design. Hard zones provide quick turning, while soft, non-slip zones ensure maximum power transfer and comfort, reducing fatigue during extended use.

The size is indicated by the 'Take it easy' tool finder system. It features color coding (typically red for hex) and clear size stamping directly on the handle (in this case, '8' for 8mm).

Yes, it is specifically designed for metric hex socket screws (Allen screws) of the 8mm size. It is not intended for hex head bolts which have an external hex shape.

The blade is typically made of high-quality steel and is chrome-plated for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

If the Hex-Plus tip becomes significantly worn or damaged, it's recommended to replace the screwdriver. Using a damaged tip can lead to poor performance and damage to the screw head.

This specific model is not described as insulated. It is intended for general mechanical and assembly tasks, not for working near live electrical circuits.

Ensure you are using the correct 8mm size for the hex socket screw. The Hex-Plus tip should provide a snug fit. If the screw head is damaged, the Hex-Plus design will still offer better engagement than standard tips.

Verify the screw is not cross-threaded or seized. The Kraftform handle is designed for maximum torque transfer; ensure a firm grip with your palm on the handle's hard zones.

Utilize the hexagonal anti-roll feature. Rest the screwdriver on a flat surface with the flat sides of the hexagonal shaft against the surface.

While the color coding aids identification, the size is also stamped on the handle. If the color is no longer visible, rely on the stamped size ('8') for identification.
