Product Overview
The Gripper 09400 is a universal socket insert from WIHA designed for 3/8" square drive tools (DIN 3120, form C 10). The product consists of an insert with 54 spring-loaded, hardened steel pins that adapt to nuts or screws up to 8 mm in height. The Gripper 09400 is designed to replace individual sockets in the 7–19 mm range (metric or imperial) and allows for torque transfer of up to 80 Nm.
Design and Application
The insert provides a compact, space-saving solution for situations where it is impractical to carry a complete set of sockets. The 54 spring-loaded steel pins conform to the external profile of nuts or exotic screw types up to 8 mm in height, allowing a firm grip on profiles that do not follow standard hexagonal profiles.
Typical Applications
- Replacement for a traditional socket set in mobile tool situations (stated by the manufacturer as an alternative to a socket wrench set for mobile use).
- Handling "exotic" screw types such as hooks or eye bolts where standard sockets cannot be used (explicitly stated by the manufacturer).
Practical Notes
The Gripper 09400 is mounted on the tool's 3/8" external square drive and transfers torque up to 80 Nm, as stated by the manufacturer. The housing material is specified as alloy steel, while the forming elements consist of 54 hardened steel pins. The product's compact dimensions make it suitable as a space- and weight-saving alternative to complete socket sets in mobile kits.
