Zyklop ratchets integrate five ratchet functions into one tool, providing high working speeds with a flywheel design and freely pivoting head. A low return angle of 5° allows efficient work in confined spaces.Zyklopratchetsintegratefiveratchetfunctionsintoonetool,providinghighworkingspeedswithaflywheeldesignandfreelypivotinghead.Alowreturnangleof5°allowsefficientworkinconfinedspaces.
Joker double open-end wrenches feature a holding function, stop plate, and double-hex geometry to prevent nuts and bolts from slipping and ensure secure fastening. A low return angle of 30° enables fast fastening operations. Self-setting double open-end wrench models (6006 Joker S/L) offer versatility by replacing multiple single wrench sizes.Jokerdoubleopen-endwrenchesfeatureaholdingfunction,stopplate,anddouble-hexgeometrytopreventnutsandboltsfromslippingandensuresecurefastening.Alowreturnangleof30°enablesfastfasteningoperations.Self-settingdoubleopen-endwrenchmodels(6006JokerS/L)offerversatilitybyreplacingmultiplesinglewrenchsizes.
Kraftform screwdrivers utilize an ergonomic multi-component Kraftform handle design for high torque transfer and reduced fatigue. Lasertip technology employs a laser-treated micro-rough surface to prevent slipping from the screw head and reduce contact pressure. Hex-Plus technology protects hex screws from rounding and extends tool life. VDE insulated screwdrivers are individually tested according to IEC 60900 for safe working at 1,000V. The Take it easy tool finder system uses color coding by profile and size for easy tool identification. Diamond-coated tips, with embedded fine diamond particles, provide maximum grip.Kraftformscrewdriversutilizeanergonomicmulti-componentKraftformhandledesignforhightorquetransferandreducedfatigue.Lasertiptechnologyemploysalaser-treatedmicro-roughsurfacetopreventslippingfromthescrewheadandreducecontactpressure.Hex-Plustechnologyprotectshexscrewsfromroundingandextendstoollife.VDEinsulatedscrewdriversareindividuallytestedaccordingtoIEC60900forsafeworkingat1,000V.TheTakeiteasytoolfindersystemusescolorcodingbyprofileandsizeforeasytoolidentification.Diamond-coatedtips,withembeddedfinediamondparticles,providemaximumgrip.
