Product Information

Full details

The Wera 7 Kraftform Safe-Torque Speed Bicycle set is designed for professionals and serious enthusiasts needing precise torque control, particularly for bicycle maintenance. Its key benefit is the secure slip-over torque mechanism offering five adjustable torque settings and a 'Torque Lock' mode for unlimited loosening. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of torque control, which may require a learning curve for those unaccustomed to it.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this set?

The primary advantage is the precise, controlled torque application via its safe-torque mechanism, which prevents over-tightening and potential damage, especially on sensitive materials like carbon fiber.

What does 'Torque Lock' mean?

The 'Torque Lock' position is a setting on the screwdriver handle that disables the torque limiting function, allowing for unlimited and powerful loosening or tightening without being restricted by the set Nm value.

Can I use any 1/4" hex bits with this set?

Yes, this set is compatible with all standard 1/4" external hexagon drive bits.

What is the torque range of this set?

The set offers five selectable tightening torques: 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 Nm.

How do I know when the set torque is reached?

The Safe-Torque mechanism provides an audible and tactile 'click' when the selected torque value is achieved.

Is this set suitable for general home use or only for bicycles?

While optimized for bicycle operations due to the specific torque ranges, it is a high-quality tool suitable for any application requiring precise torque control within its specified range.

What are the dimensions of the carrying case?

The carrying case measures approximately 75 mm in width, 165 mm in depth, and 55 mm in height.

Troubleshooting

Bit won't insert into the holder

Ensure the bit has a 1/4" external hexagon drive and is not damaged. Pull back the quick-release sleeve to insert the bit fully.

Torque mechanism not clicking or slipping

Check that the torque collar is properly engaged in one of the numbered torque settings and not in the 'Torque Lock' position. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require service.

Color codes on bits are worn off

Wera's Take it easy system also uses printed profiles and sizes on the bits themselves. If color codes are lost, rely on the printed markings for identification.

Screwdriver feels loose

Ensure the bit is fully inserted and locked into the quick-release holder. Check that the torque collar is not stuck between settings.

Pros

  • Versatile with adjustable torque and a 'Torque Lock' mode.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the desired bit from the included set or a compatible 1/4" external hexagon drive bit.
  2. Insert the bit firmly into the quick-release holder until it locks into place.
  3. To set the torque, slide the torque collar outwards and rotate it to the desired Nm value (2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, or 6.0 Nm).
  4. For unlimited loosening/tightening, slide the collar to the 'Torque Lock' position.

Compatibility:

  • This set is designed for bits with a 1/4" external hexagon drive.
  • Compatible with standard 1/4" hex shank bits.

Care:

  • Clean the screwdriver and bits with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the set in its carrying case to protect the tools and bits from dust and damage.
  • Periodically check the quick-release mechanism for debris and ensure it operates smoothly.
