Product Information

Full details

This Wera 8740 B HF Zyklop bit-socket is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a secure and efficient way to drive hex screws. Its key benefit is the 'holding function' which prevents dropped screws, significantly speeding up tasks. A minor caveat is its suitability primarily for manual and non-impact tools. This 10mm bit-socket features Hex-Plus technology for reduced screw head wear, is color-coded for easy identification, and offers a knurled end for manual grip.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 'holding function'?

The 'holding function' grips the screw, preventing it from falling off the bit during insertion. This greatly improves convenience and reduces lost time, especially in challenging positions.

Can this bit-socket be used with an impact wrench?

No, this specific model (8740 B HF) is designed for manual and non-impact power tools only. Using it with an impact wrench can damage the tool and void the warranty.

What does 'Hex-Plus' mean?

Hex-Plus refers to Wera's specific design for hex bits that provides larger contact surfaces within the screw head. This reduces the stress on the edges, preventing rounding and extending the life of the screw head.

How do I identify the size of this bit-socket quickly?

Wera uses the 'Take it easy' Tool Finder system, which includes color-coding. This 10mm socket is color-coded for easy identification amongst other sockets.

What is the material and finish of this bit-socket?

It is constructed from high-quality chrome vanadium steel and features a matt chrome-plated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

What is the overall length of the socket?

The overall length of this 10mm bit-socket is 38.5 mm.

Is this socket suitable for metric or imperial screws?

This is a metric 10mm hex socket, designed for metric hexagon socket head screws.

Troubleshooting

Screw doesn't stay on the holding function

Ensure the screw head is clean and undamaged. The holding function works best with screws that have a well-formed socket. Check for any debris inside the socket's holding mechanism.

Difficulty engaging the screw head

Verify that you are using the correct size bit (10mm for this socket) and that the screw head is not stripped. The Hex-Plus design should minimize stripping, but damaged screw heads can still cause issues.

Socket feels loose on the ratchet drive

Ensure you are using a standard 3/8" drive ratchet. Check the drive square on both the socket and the ratchet for any damage or debris that might be preventing a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain performance and longevity, clean the socket after use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Ensure the holding function mechanism remains free of debris.
