Wera 869/4 m Socket bit, Magnetic, 10.0 x 50 mm

This page is intended for professionals and DIYers looking for a socket bit for machine screwdriving. Below you can read what it is suitable for and what to keep in mind when choosing.

What do you use a magnetic socket bit 10 mm for?

A socket bit fits into a bit holder or on a screwdriver machine with a standard bit connection, replacing a loose socket wrench. This is useful for tightening hexagon bolts and nuts in, for example, construction, assembly and installation work. The size of 10 mm must match the spanner size of the fastener, so check this before ordering.

The advantage of the magnet

The magnet holds the screw or nut in the socket. This leaves one hand free and reduces the chance of it falling or getting lost, especially when working overhead or in a hard-to-reach place. A magnet is no substitute for a good fit: the socket must still fit snugly around the fastener.

Length and reach

At a length of 50 mm, the socket bit also reaches slightly deeper or less accessible positions. A longer bit has more reach, while a shorter one is often more stable and compact. So look at the space around the fastener you want to tighten.

Connection to your machine

Check whether your machine or bit holder is suitable for the connection of this bit. The product description mentions screwdriver bits with hex socket connection. If you are unsure about compatibility, you can contact Proffix by phone or by email.
