Wiha SoftFinish 9mm Nut Driver – 125mm Shaft, Hex Bolster, 34718

Tackle hex nuts and fasteners with comfort and control using Wiha's SoftFinish nut driver. Built for professional use, this tool combines a precision-formed 9.0mm socket, heavy-duty steel shaft, and ergonomic handle for reliable fastening in mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and repair applications.

The 125mm shaft provides additional reach when working with recessed fasteners or components that are difficult to access with a standard wrench. A deep forged socket helps engage nuts on protruding threaded studs, while the solid shaft delivers strength and stability during fastening.

For applications requiring additional turning force, the hex bolster provides a convenient point for applying torque with a compatible wrench. The SoftFinish handle features a comfortable, molded-on grip designed to support secure handling and reduce hand fatigue during repeated use.

Manufactured in Germany from Wiha's specially formulated tool steel, the shaft is through-hardened for durability and finished with corrosion-resistant nickel plating.

Deep Socket for Recessed Fasteners

The deep forged socket is especially useful when working with nuts installed on threaded studs.

Unlike shallow sockets, which may bottom out against a protruding stud, the deeper design provides additional clearance to help reach and engage the nut.

This makes the tool convenient for mechanical assemblies, equipment servicing, and other applications involving exposed threads.

125mm Shaft for Extended Reach

The 125mm shaft helps reach fasteners positioned inside equipment, behind surrounding components, or in recessed mounting locations.

Its solid construction provides a stable connection between the handle and socket, making the tool practical for repeated fastening and loosening operations.

Hex Bolster for Additional Torque

The hex bolster is designed to provide an additional gripping point when greater turning force is required.

A compatible wrench can be applied to the bolster to increase leverage while loosening or tightening a fastener.

This feature is particularly useful when working with fasteners that require more force than can comfortably be applied by hand alone.

SoftFinish Ergonomic Handle

The SoftFinish handle is designed to provide a comfortable grip during repeated fastening tasks.

Its ergonomic shape helps users maintain control while applying turning force, making it useful for assembly lines, maintenance work, and general repair applications.

The molded-on handle construction provides a secure connection between the grip and shaft.

Through-Hardened Steel Construction

Wiha manufactures the shaft from specially formulated tool steel that is through-hardened for durability.

The nickel-plated finish adds corrosion resistance, helping protect the steel during normal workshop use.

This combination makes the tool suitable for professional maintenance, industrial assembly, and mechanical repair.
