Single Wera 8000 A SB Zyklop Speed

The Wera 8000 A SB Zyklop Speed is a single reversible ratchet intended for use with 1/4" square sockets and 1/4" adapters with square drive. It features a flywheel design and a free-turning sleeve for faster screwdriving, a swivel ratchet head with predefined lock positions at 0°, 15° and 90° to the left and right, and a 72-tooth fine-tooth mechanism that provides a small return angle of 5°. The tool includes a pushbutton release and a ball lock to secure sockets and attachments, and the multi-component Kraftform handle is designed to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

Advantages

The Zyklop Speed ratchet combines a gyrating mass design and a free-turning sleeve to accelerate turning when resistance is low, while the thumbwheel allows quick switching between clockwise and anticlockwise rotation at any head position. The predefined locking positions and slide switch on the ratchet head permit safe operation in confined spaces, and the 72 fine-pitched teeth ensure precise, fast work with a minimal return angle. The pushbutton release and ball lock make attachment changes secure and straightforward.

Suitable for

• Work with 1/4" square sockets and 1/4" square-drive adapters
• Tight or confined workspaces requiring angled head positions
• Tasks needing fast, repetitive screwdriving and frequent direction changes
• Mechanics, maintenance, and precise installation work

How to use

Attach a compatible 1/4" socket or a bitholding adapter and bit to the square drive; the ball lock will secure the attachment. Select the desired head position and engage the slide switch to lock the swivel head at 0°, 15° or 90° as needed. Use the thumbwheel to switch rotation direction without repositioning the ratchet. For conventional screwdriver use, lock the head at 0° and operate using the free-turning sleeve or handle. Press the pushbutton release to remove sockets or adapters.

Recommendations

Use the Zyklop Speed ratchet in combination with 1/4" Wera sockets and adapters for best fit; avoid applying excessive torque beyond the tool's intended range and inspect the ball lock and release mechanism regularly to ensure reliable operation.
