The Wera 8790 FA Zyklop 8mm shallow socket is an essential tool for mechanics and technicians who frequently work in ultra-tight spaces. Engineered specifically to integrate with the Wera 8005 Zyklop Mini 2 ratchet, this socket sits inside the tool head to minimize height and reach fasteners that standard ratchets cannot access; however, its specialized design means it is primarily intended for manual applications rather than high-torque power tool use.

No, the 8790 FA series is intended for manual use only. Using it with power tools may damage the socket.
Yes, it is compatible with any standard 1/4in square drive ratchet, though you achieve the lowest clearance when used with the Wera Zyklop Mini 2.
The socket has a height of 18mm.
Wera tools are manufactured to high standards. Please refer to your local retailer or the Wera website for specific regional warranty policies.
Yes, it is constructed from chrome-plated chrome vanadium steel, which provides good protection against rust and corrosion.
Ensure the ball intercept ring on the socket is clean of debris and properly aligned with the ratchet's detent.
Verify that you are using the correct 8mm sizing and that the socket is seated fully onto the hex head of the bolt.
To achieve the lowest possible clearance, slide the 8790 FA socket directly into the Zyklop Mini 2 ratchet until it locks into place via the ball intercept ring. This socket is designed for manual operation only; avoid using it with pneumatic or high-torque impact drivers as this can compromise the structure of the thin-walled socket. After use, wipe the socket with a clean, dry cloth to remove oils and debris. Store in a dry environment or a dedicated tool organizer to prevent the chrome plating from scuffing or scratching over time.
