Description
Positioning and driving 5 mm hexagon socket screws safely in live installations: the extremely short 8740 A HF VDE bit socket (46 mm) holds the screw with a spring-loaded ball and so reduces the risk of losing it when feeding it to the workpiece.
Benefits
- Holding function: a flexible locking ball on the bit clamps the hexagon socket screw, especially helpful in hard-to-reach spaces.
- Hex-Plus profile with larger contact surfaces reduces the risk of damaging the screw head and fits every standard hexagon socket screw.
- Individually tested as per IEC 60900 at 10,000 V for safe working up to 1,000 V.
- 2-component insulation: the yellow insulation core becomes visible if the red outer layer is damaged.
- Extremely short and compact for very confined spaces, plastic sleeve protects surfaces.
Applications
Switch cabinet and plant construction, electrical installation and service on systems up to 1,000 V, wherever hexagon socket screws are set in tight, hard-to-reach areas.
Standards and safety
Individually tested at 10,000 V in accordance with IEC 60900, approved for live working up to 1,000 V.
