Wera 8790 HMA Deep 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket Metric

The Wera 8790 HMA Deep 1/4" Drive Hexagon Socket in 8mm is one of the most commonly called-upon sizes in any professional toolkit, ideal for automotive work, machinery maintenance, and structural assembly tasks. The 50mm deep profile enables confident access to recessed fasteners and handles situations where threaded rods extend beyond the bolt head. The hexagonal profile provides maximum torque transfer with minimal strain on fastener edges, making it the preferred choice over double hexagon designs — especially when fasteners are regularly tightened or loosened. The ball intercept ring keeps the socket securely in position during both manual and machine operation (non-impact). Wera's Take it easy colour-coding lets you identify the 8mm socket at a glance, and knurling on the lower end delivers a secure grip even in oily workshop conditions.
