Wera 8790B Zyklop VDE 3/8" Drive Socket

The Wera 8790B Zyklop VDE 3/8" Drive Socket is a premium insulated socket designed for safe working on live electrical installations. Built to meet the stringent requirements of IEC 60900, each socket is individually tested at 10,000 V, making it approved for use at voltages up to 1,000 V — essential for professional electricians and engineers working in high-risk environments.

A standout safety feature is the innovative 2-component insulation system. The outer layer is finished in red VDE-rated insulation, beneath which sits a highly visible yellow insulation core. Should the outer layer become damaged, the yellow core immediately becomes visible, providing a clear warning that the tool's insulation has been compromised. A plastic sleeve is also included to protect delicate surfaces from damage during use.

Available in sizes from 6mm to 19mm, these sockets offer a comprehensive range for a wide variety of fastening applications.
