The Wera 352 ball-end hex screwdriver, model 05022805001, is a precision hand tool designed for safe, fast and comfortable driving of hexagon socket screws in confined or awkward installation situations. The 3.0 mm hex tip with a 100 mm blade gives the user the reach needed for recessed fasteners while the ball-end geometry permits an angular approach of several degrees — ideal when a straight-on approach is impossible. The blade is manufactured and hardened to Wera’s Black Point standard to deliver a tight, accurate fit with improved corrosion protection and longer tip life.
Ergonomics are a major design focus. The screwdriver uses Wera’s multi-component Kraftform handle which combines soft and hard zones for a secure, comfortable grip and efficient torque transfer without bruising the hand during prolonged use. The handle also carries the “Take it easy” toolfinder colour coding, making it quick to identify profile and size at a glance in a crowded toolbox. For workshop safety and convenience the blade features a hexagonal non-roll shape so the tool won’t roll away from your workbench.
Performance features: the ball tip allows up to ~25° of off-axis screwdriving depending on application, enabling access to angled screws without stripping. The precise hardening process used on the tip yields consistent hardness and wear resistance, giving dependable torque transfer and long service life. The design emphasises secure fit and reduced cam-out — important for avoiding damage to both fastener and workpiece. These characteristics are why professionals in electronics, mechanical assembly, and maintenance keep Wera ball-end hex drivers in their kits.
Build quality and compatibility: the tool is sized to match standard metric hex socket screws (3.0 mm). The 100 mm blade length strikes a practical balance — long enough for many recessed fasteners but short enough for control in confined spaces. Wera’s global distribution means the same part number (05022805001) appears across major tool suppliers and online retailers — useful when ordering replacements or matching sets.
Who it’s for: technicians, assembly operators, bicycle mechanics, and hobbyists who need a compact, reliable hex driver for repetitive work or for access to tight spaces. It’s also an excellent replacement/upgrade over generic drivers because of the improved tip treatment and ergonomic handle that reduce fatigue and slippage.
