Socket wrench Wera 495

Socket wrench Wera 495 with a T-handle designed to transmit high torque in demanding tightening and loosening tasks. The ergonomic T-handle fills the palm and positions the fingers in soft, rounded recesses so the whole hand contacts the handle and friction losses are reduced. Blades receive a special surface treatment for enhanced corrosion protection and a precise fit in the screw head. The tool has a single-piece construction, a total handle length of 9.9 cm and a shank length of 23 cm in a black-and-silver finish.

Advantages

The T-handle shape enables high torque transfer and safe operation in restricted or tightly fastened connections. Ergonomic contours distribute force across the palm, improving comfort during repeated use. A treated blade surface increases corrosion resistance while ensuring accurate engagement with screw heads. Single-piece construction enhances durability and stability under load.

Suitable for

• Applying high torque to screws and bolts in mechanical and assembly work
• Tasks requiring controlled tightening or loosening in confined spaces
• Professional and DIY maintenance where a durable hand tool is needed

How to use

Place the socket on the fastener head ensuring correct fit, then hold the T-handle with the palm contacting the ergonomic recesses and apply torque by pulling or pushing the handle. For loosening, apply steady counter-clockwise force; for tightening, apply clockwise force. Use controlled movements to avoid over-torquing and ensure the blade stays properly engaged in the screw head during operation.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tool for wear or damage before use, keep the treated blade clean and dry to maintain corrosion protection, and store the wrench in a dry place. Use the correct socket size to prevent rounding of fasteners and avoid using the tool on damaged or unsuitable fastener heads.
