Wera 05018268001 Slotted Screwdriver 11/32 in Hex Shank

Product Description

The WERA 05018268001 is a heavy-duty slotted screwdriver built for professional tradespeople who need consistent performance under daily jobsite demands. The standard slotted tip measures 11/32 inches wide and sits on a 6-inch blade mounted to a hexagonal shank, allowing a wrench or nut driver to apply additional torque when driving into stubborn fasteners. The overall length comes in at 10.25 inches, making it suitable for reaching into moderate-depth cavities without sacrificing control. The ergonomic handle runs 4.375 inches long with a 1.5625-inch diameter, giving the user a secure, fatigue-reducing grip during extended work sessions.

This screwdriver is well suited for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where slotted fasteners are common. The hex shank design makes it compatible with standard open-end wrenches, offering a mechanical advantage that straight-handle screwdrivers cannot provide. It handles panel work, equipment access covers, junction boxes, and terminal screws in a wide range of commercial and residential service scenarios. The heavy-duty construction is intended for frequent professional use rather than light-duty or occasional tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tool requires no special procedures, but users should de-energize electrical panels and equipment before driving or removing fasteners in live electrical environments per NEC guidelines. Ensure the slotted tip seats fully in the fastener head before applying torque to prevent tip or fastener damage. When using a wrench on the hex shank, apply force steadily rather than with sharp impacts to maintain blade alignment.
