Product Information

Full details

This Wera 5mm Hex-Plus screwdriver bit is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with hexagon socket screws. Its key benefit is the Hex-Plus profile, which significantly reduces cam-out and extends screw head life. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's best suited for direct use in hex sockets or with compatible drivers, rather than as a standalone tool.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Hex-Plus design?

The Hex-Plus design provides a larger contact surface area within the screw head, significantly reducing the risk of cam-out (the bit slipping out) and minimizing damage to the screw head over time.

What size hexagon socket screw is this bit for?

This bit is specifically designed for 5 mm hexagon socket screws.

What type of driver or holder can I use with this bit?

This bit features a 1/4" hexagon drive and is compatible with standard 1/4" hex bit holders, manual screwdrivers, and power drills that accept this shank type, as per DIN ISO 1173-D 6.3.

Is this bit suitable for all types of screws?

No, this bit is specifically designed for screws with a 5 mm hexagon socket head. It is not suitable for Phillips, Pozidriv, Torx, or other screw head types.

How long is the bit?

The length of this specific bit is 25 mm.

Does this product come in other sizes?

Yes, Wera offers Hex-Plus bits in various sizes. This guide focuses on the 5mm variant (MPN 05056325001), but other sizes like 2mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm are available.

Can I use this bit with an impact driver?

While durable, this bit is primarily designed for standard screwdriving applications. For impact driving, Wera offers specific 'impact' bits designed to withstand those forces.

Troubleshooting

Bit slips out of the screw head.

Ensure you are using the correct size bit (5mm) for the screw. Verify the bit is fully seated in your driver/holder. Check if the screw head is damaged or stripped.

Difficulty engaging the screw.

Confirm the screw has a 5mm hexagon socket. Ensure no debris is obstructing the screw head or the bit tip.

Bit shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the bit regularly. If the Hex-Plus profile is significantly worn or the tip is damaged, replace the bit to ensure optimal performance and prevent screw damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces screw head damage thanks to the Hex-Plus design.
  • Minimizes cam-out, ensuring a more secure grip.
  • Durable construction for longevity.
  • Versatile for various hexagon socket applications.

Cons

  • Specific 5mm size may not fit all applications.
  • Requires a compatible driver or holder (sold separately).
  • Single bit pack means multiple sizes must be purchased individually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bit requires a compatible 1/4" hex drive tool, such as a manual screwdriver handle, a power drill chuck, or a bit holder. Insert the 1/4" hex shank firmly into the tool's receiver until it clicks or is securely seated.

Compatibility: Compatible with all Wera bit holders and drives that accept a 1/4" hexagon shank (DIN ISO 1173-D 6.3). Also compatible with most standard 1/4" hex drive tools from other manufacturers.

Care: Clean the bit after each use with a dry cloth to remove debris. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Avoid using excessive force or the wrong size screw, as this can damage both the bit and the screw head.
