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 combines a 7.7 cm handle length with a 23 cm shank to provide leverage and control. The ergonomic T-shaped handle fills the palm and positions the fingers in soft, rounded recesses to reduce friction losses and allow the whole hand to engage the tool. Blades receive a special surface treatment for improved corrosion resistance and an optimized fit in the screw head.

Advantages

The T-handle shape transfers torque efficiently in restricted or high-torque situations, while the ergonomic design improves grip and comfort during prolonged use. Specially treated blades offer enhanced corrosion protection and precise fit in screw heads, reducing the risk of cam-out and wear.

Suitable for

• Mechanical assembly and disassembly where high torque is required
• Maintenance tasks in workshops and garages
• Applications needing precise fit and reduced slippage in screw heads
• Work in environments where corrosion-resistant tools are preferred

How to use

Select the correctly sized socket for the screw head and attach it to the shank. Position the T-handle so the palm and fingers seat comfortably in the handle recesses, then apply steady force to turn the wrench. Use the longer shank to reach recessed fasteners and the T-handle to generate higher torque when loosening or tightening. Avoid sudden impacts or misuse that could damage the tool or fastener.

Usage recommendations

Store the wrench dry and clean after use to preserve the corrosion protection. Inspect the socket and shank before use for wear or damage. Use the appropriate socket size to ensure optimal fit and reduce the risk of damaging screw heads.
