Increased safety

The Zyklop sockets and extensions for electricians offer increased safety thanks to their 2-component insulation with a yellow insulation core under an outer red insulation layer.

Bit sockets with retaining function for hexagon socket screws

The clamping of the screw is achieved by a flexible locking ball. The holding function is especially helpful in confined, hard-to-reach spaces, where there is no room for a second hand to secure the screw.

Hex-Plus

Hexagon socket screws are a problem, because the contact surfaces that transfer the force of the tool to the screw are very narrow. The consequence: the head of the screw can be damaged, usually rounding out the recess. Hex-Plus tools have larger contact surfaces to prevent this, driving from the flats of the recess, rather than the corners. Good to know: Hex-Plus tools fit into every standard hexagon socket screw!
