Screwdriver Torx TX6 Wera 118182, 40 mm shaft length

The Wera Torx TX6 screwdriver with a 40 mm shaft (model 118182) is a compact handheld tool engineered for precise engagement with Torx fasteners. Designed for tasks that require accuracy and controlled torque, this screwdriver is suited to working on electronics, small appliances and assemblies where space is limited. The accurately shaped Torx tip reduces cam-out and ensures consistent contact with fastener recesses.

Advantages

The short 40 mm shaft provides improved access in confined areas while preserving tactile control. The Torx TX6 tip is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances to improve fit and minimize fastener damage. The compact form factor and solid shaft construction contribute to reliable torque transfer during both tightening and loosening operations.

Suitable for

• Precision electronics repair and assembly
• Maintenance of small household appliances
• Assembly and servicing of small mechanical devices
• Work in confined or recessed screw locations

Key specifications

• Drive type: Torx TX6
• Shaft length: 40 mm
• Tool type: Straight, handheld screwdriver
• Tip finish: accurately machined Torx profile for reduced cam-out
• Typical applications: precision fastening in electronics and small devices

How to use

Select the Torx TX6 screwdriver when the fastener recess matches the TX6 profile. Insert the tip fully into the fastener recess to ensure correct seating, then apply steady axial pressure while turning to reduce the risk of cam-out. Use controlled torque appropriate to the component or fastener specification; avoid over-torquing delicate parts. For repeated tasks consider holding the shaft close to the handle for better control in tight spaces.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the Torx tip for wear before use and replace the tool if the profile shows deformation. Keep the tip clean and free of debris to maintain proper engagement. For electrical work, ensure devices are powered off and discharged before beginning repairs.
