Description
4 mm hexagon socket screws on live parts can be fed and tightened safely with the 8740 A VDE HF: a spring-loaded ball clamps the screw on the bit, leaving the other hand free. At just 46 mm long, the insulated 1/4" bit socket also fits very confined spaces.
Benefits
- Holding function: the screw is not lost when feeding it into the workpiece
- Hex-Plus profile with larger contact surfaces reduces the risk of damaging the screw head and fits every standard hexagon socket screw
- Extremely short and compact for easy working in tight spaces
- 2-component insulation: the yellow core becomes visible if the red outer layer is damaged
- Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage
Applications
Switch cabinet construction, electrical installation and plant maintenance, especially in hard-to-reach areas where the second hand cannot be used to hold the screw.
Standards and safety
Individually tested VDE tool as per IEC 60900 at 10,000 V for safe working at the approved voltage of 1,000 V.
