Socket Wera 8740 A HF 1

The Wera 8740 A HF 1 is a 1/4" drive bit socket designed for metric hexagon fasteners. It combines a compact profile for access in tight spaces with a holding function that stabilizes screws during engagement, reducing the risk of dropping the fastener while positioning it on the workpiece. Constructed from durable materials, the socket is intended for professional and DIY use where reliable bit retention and precise screwdriving are required.

Advantages

The integrated holding function secures screws on the bit for easier alignment and insertion. The 1/4" drive and metric hexagon profile provide compatibility with a wide range of standard bits and fasteners. Its compact length improves access in confined areas, while high-quality construction ensures long service life and resistance to wear.

Suitable for

• Assembly and disassembly of metric hexagon screws
