Wera Zyklop 1/2" Drive Ratchet 1/2"

About this tool

The Wera Zyklop 8000 C SB is a 1/2" drive speed ratchet designed for professional tradespeople who need precision, speed, and versatility in confined or difficult-to-reach spaces. The ratchet head pivots freely and can be locked securely at pre-defined positions — 0°, 15°, and 90° left and right — using a slide switch accessible from either side. This makes it genuinely practical in tight installations where a standard ratchet simply won't manoeuvre. The 72-tooth fine-tooth mechanism delivers a low return angle of just 5°, allowing effective operation even where swing arc is severely limited. At 0°, the Zyklop can be used with an adapter and bit as a conventional screwdriver, adding real flexibility to its range of applications. The flywheel design and fast-rotating sleeve accelerate the drive process considerably, while the Kraftform handle — rotationally symmetrical and ergonomically shaped — supports rapid turning without hand fatigue. The Kraftform handle uses a combination of hard and soft materials: the harder zones allow quick hand switching without skin adhesion, while the softer non-slip zones transmit high force efficiently. Compatible with 1/2" square drive socket inserts and 1/2" square drive connectors, with ball lock retention. Features and Benefits: • 72-tooth fine-tooth ratchet mechanism with a 5° return angle for restricted spaces • Freely pivoting head locks at 0°, 15° and 90° positions left and right • Slide switch accessible from both sides
