Wera Ringmagnet Rapidator



Hermann Werner GmbH & Co. KG presented an important innovation for craftsmen working in wood. The screwdriver and screwdriver insert specialist is offering the Rapidaptor® quick release bit holder which they developed and patented, now also with a ring magnet.
The ring magnet construction means that long and heavy screws, such as those frequently used in indoor extensions, can now be held securely on the bit, even in awkward installation situations. The working principle is simple and effective: When a screw is placed on the bit head, the ring magnet attracts a floating sleeve onto the screw head. The strong magnetic force holds the screw securely. There is no longer any need to hold the screw manually during the screwing operation. Losing screws and looking for them laboriously after they have fallen are now things of the past.
A further advantage is that the bit is always inserted into the screw to its maximum depth of penetration thanks to the ring magnet construction. This achieves maximum positive drive, and thereby the highest possible transfer of force. The perfectly snug fit further prevents premature wear to the bit and screw.
