Socket set Wera 8740 C HF

The Wera 8740 C HF Socket set is a 1/2" drive hexagon bit socket set with a holding function that helps keep fasteners in place during screwdriving. Manufactured by Wera, this set is intended for metric applications and combines a precise fit with durable materials for reliable torque transfer and long service life.

Advantages

The holding function secures the screw on the bit for easier alignment and reduced risk of dropping fasteners. Hexagon sockets ensure an accurate fit on metric fasteners, reducing rounding and slippage. The 1/2" drive size delivers higher torque capacity suitable for demanding tasks, and the sockets are made from materials designed for wear resistance and long-term use.
