WERA 05004966001 8007 B VDE Zyklop Ratchet, Insulated, with Switch Lever, with 3/8" Drive, 3/8" x 222 mm

Awesome 3/8" insulated ratchet wrench good up to 1000 volts. I know USA MADE MATTERS BUT YOU CAN NOT BEAT GERMAN MADE TOOLS EITHER for precision, tight specs, longevity of tool life and a tool you can trust from size, fit, and built in quality.

The price feels steep, but it is an insulated ratcheting socket wrench. I'm constantly working on power systems and this has helped me move so much faster with changing batteries and working in tight spaces in metal boxes without accidentally shorting to the enclosure. Definitely worth the purchase. I plan on definitely getting another as my back-up.

Awesome

The ratchet internals are super fine as well as smooth. It is well insulated with zero risk of shock at the voltages I use it with. The ball detent connect and release system is superb as it holds tightly with no wabble or free play at the connection. I am not an electrician per say, I just use it while doing maintenance on my home 200 amp/240 volt power panel. I use it in conjunction with the 6 inch insulated extension bar that I purchased with it. They both work well and would recommend the product for such SAFE use. Harry-O

Probably could have used a composite wrench instead, but the rigorous testing that these went through are added peace of mind when working in and around electrical applications. It didn't fall apart when I took it out of the package (time will tell how long the over molded grip lasts)/ It worked as advertised when I used it to change a couple car batteries. One drawback is its shorter than expected at 9" long. This looks like it has 80 tooth ratcheting mechanism, and a push button ball detent. Solid buy when on sale at $82.91.

This socket wrench is a great buy! Great ratcheting action, ergonomic comfort, and a secure hold of the sockets.

The tool itself is great. Fits securely to the sockets (from wera, knipex and geodore). Sure it will break if you have the lever set wrong and crank like a madman in the wrong direction. Don't use it wrong. Would be 5 stars if not for the horrible contraption wera still insists on packaging these things with. Feels like you are going to break it just to get it off. At the least its made in czechia. Most of the european brands have started to outsource their insulated products to asia and cementex will run you close to 10x the cost. Shame they can't bring their prices down a bit, but until then, this is a quality tool made with standards in a place not rife with fraud.

This ratchet works well, feels nice and is electrically insulated when used properly.

Wera insists on shipping these wrenches with a security clamp / plastic label jammed onto the connector. There are NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to remove this. The previous wrench I bought, I had to destructively remove that tag. This wrench I had to do the same, however this time I managed to damage the wrench in the process of removing it and now cannot return it and am out ANOTHER $150... beause this wrench was to replace another WERA wrench that FAILED in light hobbyist use. Wera socket bits have also broken on me, jamming a broken 3mm bit in a bolt which was a NIGHTMARE to deal with. I am DONE WITH WERA. If you are a professional or a hobbyist who values his or her time and quality of tools, then BUY SOMETHING BETTER. WERA STOP SHIPPING THESE WRENCHES WITH THIS AWFUL SECURITY TAG ON IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
