Description
Place 3 mm hexagon socket screws safely on live installations, even when your second hand is not free: the insulated 8740 A VDE HF Zyklop bit socket holds the screw on the bit with a spring-loaded ball and is extremely short at 46 mm.
Benefits
- Holding function by a spring-loaded ball: the screw is not lost while feeding it to the workpiece
- Extremely short, compact design for easy work in very confined spaces
- Hex-Plus profile with larger contact surfaces reduces the risk of damaging the screw head and fits every standard hexagon socket screw
- Individual testing at 10,000 V as per IEC 60900 for safe work up to 1,000 V
- 2-component insulation: the yellow insulation core becomes visible as soon as the red outer layer is damaged
- Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage
Applications
Electrical installation, control cabinet construction and plant maintenance, especially for hard-to-reach hexagon socket screws close to live parts. Fits Zyklop VDE ratchets and extensions with 1/4" drive.
Standards and safety
Individually tested tool as per IEC 60900 at 10,000 V, approved for work up to 1,000 V.
