Product Information

Full details

The Wera 354 Kraftform Plus Hex-Plus Screwdriver is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work with hex socket screws. Its key benefit is enhanced screw longevity and reduced cam-out thanks to the Hex-Plus tip. A potential caveat is its specific size (8mm), requiring users to have corresponding fasteners.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'Hex-Plus' mean?

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.

What is the benefit of the Kraftform handle?

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.

How do I identify the size of this screwdriver?

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).

Can this screwdriver be used for metric hex bolts?

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.

What is the blade material and finish?

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

What should I do if the screwdriver tip gets damaged?

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.

Is this screwdriver insulated for electrical work?

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

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver feels loose in the screw head.

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.

Difficulty applying torque.

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.

Tool rolls off the workbench.

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

Color coding is worn off.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces cam-out and screw damage with Hex-Plus tip.
  • Ergonomic Kraftform handle reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use.
  • Easy tool identification with color coding and size stamping.
  • Prevents tool rolling, maintaining a tidy and safe workspace.
  • Durable construction for professional use.

Cons

  • Specific 8mm size may not fit all hex socket screws.
  • Not suitable for tasks requiring a full set of hex drivers.
  • Single tool focus means multiple screwdrivers might be needed for varied tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a single-piece screwdriver and requires no assembly. Simply select it from your toolkit when needed.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for 8mm hex socket screws. It is compatible with fasteners where the socket recess matches this dimension. It is not designed for use with other fastener types or sizes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the blade and handle with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, use a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or corrosive substances.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the Hex-Plus tip for any signs of wear or damage. If the tip is compromised, replace the screwdriver to ensure optimal performance and prevent screw damage.
  4. Rust Prevention: The chrome-plated finish provides good corrosion resistance, but avoid prolonged contact with moisture.
