Wera


The Wera 056490 Tool-Check Plus Bit Ratchet Set with Sockets is a 39-piece, compact, high-quality metric tool set designed for a wide variety of screw-driving and fastening applications, particularly in confined spaces.


Key Components and Features: Mini Bit Ratchet (8001 A)


    1/4" hex drive for bits, and can take sockets via an adapter.


Drop-forged solid steel construction

Fine-pitched ratchet mechanism (60 teeth) allowing for a small return angle of only 6∘, ideal for precision and working in tight spots.


Quick changeover for clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation via a switchover lever.


Knurling on the ratchet head for rapid hand-spinning/screwdriving.


Designed to withstand high torque (over 65 Nm).


Bit-holding Screwdriver Handle (813):


    Wera Kraftform Plus handle for ergonomic, comfortable screwdriving, which is designed to reduce blisters and calluses.


    Hard zones for high working speeds and soft zones for high torque transfer.


Rapidaptor Bit Holder (889/4/1 K):


    Features Wera's Rapidaptor technology for lightning-fast, one-hand bit changes, and can also be used as an extension.


Sockets and Adaptor


    7 x 1/4" drive sockets (8790 HMA): Typically metric sizes, such as 5.5,6.0,7.0,8.0,10.0,12.0, and 13.0 mm.


Socket Adaptor (870/1): Converts the 1/4" hex drive to a 1/4" square drive to use the sockets with the mini ratchet or screwdriver handle.


The sockets often feature the "Take it easy" Tool Finder color-coding by size for quick identification.


Bits (28 pieces): A wide selection of 1/4" hex bits, often including:


    Phillips (PH), Pozidriv (PZ), Slotted (Flat), Hex-Plus (Hex), Torx (TX), and Security Torx (TX BO).


Many of the bits are BiTorsion (BTZ and BTH) bits, which have a torsion zone to absorb peak loads, resulting in longer service life.


Compact Storage: All 39 pieces are stored in a durable, compact, and portable plastic case (often called a "Bit-Check" or "Tool-Check" box) with green locking components to secure the tools.
