Socket 3/8 inch for Torx screws TX40, insulated 1000 V, 123 mm - Knipex 98 29 40

Where a screwdriver cannot deliver enough torque or the screw sits deep inside a housing, the ratchet takes over. The insulated 98 29 40 socket transfers the torque of a 3/8 inch square drive to Torx screws in size TX40 and is built to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for live working up to 1000 V.

Benefits

• Internal square 3/8 inch, fits common ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches of that drive size.
• Size TX40 for a positive fit in the Torx profile, the torque acts on six flanks instead of two edges.
• Chrome-plated basic tool, the steel under the insulation stays protected against corrosion.
• Built and tested to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900 for work on live parts up to 1000 V.
• Slim shape at 123 mm overall length and only 23 mm across, so tight installations stay reachable.
• Low weight of 59 g, the socket hardly loads the ratchet.
