Socket wrench Wera 495

The Wera 495 socket wrench is a T-handle tool designed to deliver high torque in demanding tightening and loosening tasks. It features a durable black and silver finish, a 7.7 cm handle length and a 23 cm shank length to provide good leverage and control. The ergonomic T-shaped handle fills the palm and positions the fingers in soft rounded recesses to reduce friction losses and ensure a secure grip. Blades receive a special surface treatment for enhanced corrosion protection and an optimized fit in the screw head.

Advantages

The T-handle shape enables efficient transmission of torque while the full-hand contact reduces slippage during use. The ergonomic handle design improves comfort for extended tasks. Specially treated blades resist corrosion and promote precise engagement with screw heads, reducing the risk of rounding.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repairs
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment
• Professional workshops and industrial applications
• DIY projects requiring high torque

How to use

Select the appropriate socket size for the fastener and fit it securely to the shank. Grasp the T-handle with the palm filling the handle and fingers in the rounded recesses, then apply steady torque in the required direction. For stubborn fasteners, use controlled, incremental force rather than sudden jerks. After use, clean the tool and store it dry to preserve the surface treatment.

Usage recommendations

Use the Wera 495 for tasks that require stable, high torque transmission. Avoid using the tool on damaged or rounded fasteners where the risk of slipping is high, and inspect the surface treatment periodically—if corrosion is observed, clean and apply light protective oil before storage.
