Description
In tight switch cabinets there is often no second hand free to hold the screw. The extremely short 8740 A VDE HF bit socket for 8 mm hexagon socket screws holds the screw on the bit with a flexible locking ball and brings it to the workpiece without the risk of losing it. The 2-component insulation makes damage to the outer layer visible at once.
Benefits
- Holding function via flexible locking ball: screws are not lost when feeding them in
- Extremely short and compact for work in very confined spaces
- Hex-Plus: larger contact surfaces reduce the risk of damaging the screw head, fits any standard hexagon socket screw
- Yellow insulation core under a red outer layer indicates damage
- Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage
Applications
Electrical installation, switch cabinet construction and maintenance on 8 mm hexagon socket screws near live parts up to 1,000 V, especially in hard-to-reach places.
Standards and safety
Individually tested tool as per IEC 60900 at 10,000 V for safe working at the approved voltage of 1,000 V.
