Socket wrench Wera 495

The Wera 495 socket wrench combines a T-handle design with a long shank to provide high torque transmission and precise control. The ergonomic handle fills the palm and includes soft rounded recesses for the fingers, so the whole hand contacts the handle and reduces friction losses. Blades receive a special surface treatment for improved corrosion protection and an optimum fit in the screw head. With a handle length of 9.9 cm and a shank length of 23 cm, this tool offers leverage and reach for a range of fastening tasks.

Advantages

The T-handle shape enables effective torque transfer in difficult tightening and loosening situations. The ergonomic profile ensures comfortable, secure gripping and even distribution of force across the palm. Specially treated blades provide enhanced corrosion resistance and accurate engagement with screw heads. Compact handle and long shank deliver good reach and mechanical advantage.

Suitable for

• Applying high torque to fasteners in tight or hard-to-reach spaces
• General maintenance and repair work
• Professional mechanical and electrical assembly tasks
• DIY projects requiring precise torque control

How to use

Select the appropriate bit or socket for the fastener and secure it on the shank. Grip the T-handle so the palm rests fully on the handle and the fingers sit in the rounded recesses. Apply steady, controlled torque by turning the handle; use both hands if additional leverage is required. Maintain axial alignment with the fastener to avoid cam‑out and ensure the treated blade seats properly in the screw head.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool and bit before use for damage or wear. Keep the treated blade clean and dry to preserve corrosion protection. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with high torque. For stubborn fasteners, apply controlled force rather than sudden impacts to avoid damaging the screw head.
