Hylsyavain Wera 8000 C

Wera 8000 C socket wrench with a 1/2" drive and 72 fine-pitched teeth provides a low return angle of 5°. The pivoting ratchet head can be locked in any position using a slide switch located on either side, and predefined locking positions at 0°, 15° and 90° (both right and left) prevent slipping. The tool can be used as a conventional screwdriver in the 0° position with an adaptor and a bit. The flywheel design and rotation-symmetric Kraftform handle with a free-turning sleeve enable rapid screwdriving and easy hand repositioning. The handle combines harder materials for quick hand movement and softer anti-slip zones for efficient torque transfer. Designed for use with 1/2" square sockets and 1/2" adaptors with square drive, equipped with ball lock.

Advantages

The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism ensures a minimal 5° return angle for work in tight spaces. A pivoting, lockable ratchet head with multiple predefined positions increases safety and prevents head slippage. The flywheel design together with the rotation-symmetric Kraftform handle and free-turning sleeve speeds up screwdriving. Handle material combination allows quick hand repositioning while the anti-slip zones permit efficient torque transmission.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Tight or hard-to-reach fastening tasks
• General workshop and DIY projects requiring 1/2" drive sockets

How to use

Attach a compatible 1/2" socket or use an adaptor with a bit. Select the desired ratchet head angle and lock it with the slide switch; use the 0° position to operate as a conventional screwdriver. Apply steady force while turning; the flywheel action and free-turning sleeve aid fast screwdriving. For reversing direction, switch the ratchet mechanism as required and ensure the head is securely locked in the chosen position before applying high torque.

Recommendations

Use appropriate sockets and adaptors to match fastener size, avoid exceeding recommended torque limits for the selected socket, and inspect the ball lock and ratchet head before use to ensure secure engagement.
