Wera 8790 A Zyklop VDE Insulated 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket

The Wera 8790 A Zyklop VDE Insulated 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket is an individually tested, professional-grade insulated socket designed for safe working in live electrical environments. Fully compliant with IEC 60900, each socket is tested at 10,000 V and rated for approved working voltages up to 1,000 V, making it a trusted choice for electricians and electrical engineers.

What sets this socket apart is its innovative dual-layer insulation system. A bright yellow insulation core sits beneath an outer red VDE insulation layer — should the outer layer ever become damaged, the contrasting yellow core is immediately visible, providing a clear safety warning before work continues. An additional plastic sleeve helps protect delicate surfaces from scratching or marking during use.

Available in sizes from 4mm to 14mm, these sockets are suitable for a wide range of fastening applications in electrically sensitive environments.
