The Wera 8740 A HF Zyklop VDE Insulated 1/4" Drive Hexagon Bit Socket in 5mm is a highly practical size for electricians and engineers working with a broad range of hexagonal socket fasteners on live or potentially live installations. The 5mm hex is widely used in electrical equipment, switchgear, and instrumentation, making this a frequently reached-for socket in any professional toolkit. The holding function ensures screws remain attached to the socket during placement, which is particularly valuable when working at height or in awkward, confined spaces. As with all sockets in this range, the two-component VDE insulation features a yellow inner core that becomes visible if the outer red layer is damaged — giving you a reliable early warning system. Features and Benefits: • Individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V — approved for safe working up to 1,000 V • Holding function secures screws to the tool during insertion • Two-component insulation with yellow core visible if outer red layer is damaged • Extremely compact design for working in confined spaces • Plastic sleeve protects surfaces from damage • For hexagonal socket head screws Contents: 8740 A VDE HF Zyklop Bit socket, insulated, with 1/4" drive, with holding function for hexagonal socket screws, 5 x 45 mm Specifications: Drive Size: 1/4" Hex Size: 5mm Overall Length: 45mm Test Voltage: 10,000 V Approved Working Voltage: 1,000 V
