Description
Loosening or tightening 4 mm hexagon socket screws on live installations calls for a tool that is both insulated and compact. The 8740 B VDE HF Zyklop bit socket is extremely short at 55 mm overall length, and its holding function keeps the screw securely on the bit, even while feeding it to the workpiece.
Benefits
- Individually tested at 10,000 V as per IEC 60900 for safe working up to 1,000 V
- 2-component insulation: the yellow insulation core under the red outer layer makes any damage visible at once
- Holding function via a spring-loaded ball on the bit, useful where the second hand is not free to hold the screw
- Hex-Plus profile with larger contact surfaces reduces the risk of damaging the screw head and fits any standard hexagon socket screw
- Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage
Applications
Electrical installation, switchgear and control cabinet construction, and maintenance of electrical systems where hexagon socket screws are fastened under voltage up to 1,000 V. Fits Zyklop ratchets and accessories with 3/8" square drive.
Standards and safety
