Socket wrench Wera 495

The Wera 495 socket wrench features a T-handle designed to deliver high torque with good control. The ergonomic handle fills the palm and positions the fingers in soft, rounded recesses so the whole hand contacts the handle and reduces friction losses. The tool has a 9.9 cm handle length and a 23 cm shank length, providing leverage for demanding tightening and loosening tasks. Blades receive a special surface treatment for enhanced corrosion protection and an optimum fit in the screw head.

Advantages

The T-handle shape enables efficient transmission of torque in tight or hard-to-turn fastenings. The ergonomic handle improves grip comfort and hand contact, reducing slippage during use. Specially treated blades resist corrosion and offer a precise fit in screw heads, lowering the risk of rounding.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening screws and bolts that require high torque
• Repair and maintenance tasks in workshops and garages
• Applications where firm, two-handed control and leverage are needed

How to use

Select the correctly sized socket or bit for the fastener. Place the T-handle wrench onto the screw head or socket and position your palm over the ergonomic handle so the fingers rest in the rounded recesses. Apply steady torque using the T-handle; use both hands when additional leverage is required. Ensure the blade engages the screw head fully before applying high torque to avoid cam‑out.

Usage recommendations

For maximum longevity, keep the tool clean and dry after use and store it in a toolbox or rack. Inspect the blade and handle for wear before applying high loads; replace the tool if the fit in the screw head becomes poor.
