Socket screwdriver Wera Werkstatt 395, metric socket width 8 mm, blade length 80 mm

The Wera Werkstatt 395 socket screwdriver with an 8 mm metric socket width and an 80 mm blade length is a hand tool designed for fastening and loosening bolts and nuts in workshop and maintenance environments. It combines a screwdriver-style handle with a socket head to provide torque and access in confined spaces where a conventional ratchet or spanner may be impractical. The compact blade length allows positioning in recesses and shallow spaces while the metric 8 mm socket fits standard ISO metric fasteners of that size.

Advantages

The tool provides a compact combination of a comfortable screwdriver grip and a socket interface, enabling controlled torque application and improved access compared with separate screwdriver and socket tools. Its 80 mm blade length balances reach and control, making it suitable for shallow recesses without excessive leverage. The metric 8 mm socket ensures compatibility with commonly used metric fasteners in mechanical and maintenance applications.

Suitable for

• Workshop maintenance and light mechanical repairs
• Precision mechanical assemblies and instrument servicing
• Accessing fasteners in confined or recessed spaces
• Routine tightening and loosening of 8 mm metric bolts and nuts

Key specifications

• Socket width: 8 mm (metric)
• Blade length: 80 mm
• Tool type: Socket screwdriver with screwdriver-style handle
• Intended use: Hand-operated fastening and loosening of bolts and nuts

How to use

Select the socket screwdriver when working with 8 mm metric fasteners. Position the 8 mm socket over the bolt or nut, apply axial pressure to seat the socket fully, and turn the handle in the required direction to tighten or loosen. Use controlled, steady force to avoid rounding the fastener head; when higher torque is required, switch to a dedicated wrench, socket set, or torque tool. Keep the blade aligned with the fastener axis to maintain engagement and reduce slippage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the socket and handle for wear before use, and avoid using the tool on damaged or rounded fasteners. For tasks requiring measured torque, use a calibrated torque wrench. Store the screwdriver in a dry place and protect the socket from impacts to preserve fit and performance.
