The Wera 817 R Bit Holding Screwdriver with Rapidaptor is a professional-grade bit-holding screwdriver designed for fast, efficient manual screwdriving — particularly in confined or awkward installation situations. The retractable bayonet blade can be lowered directly into the handle, giving tradespeople the flexibility to work in tight spaces where a fixed-blade tool simply wouldn't fit. Combined with the Rapidaptor quick-release chuck, bits can be swapped out rapidly without the need for any additional tools — keeping work moving on busy installations.
A strong permanent magnet holds bits absolutely securely during use, reducing the risk of dropped fixings in difficult-to-reach locations. The screwdriver accepts bits with a ¼" hexagon drive, compatible with DIN ISO 1173-C 6.3 and E 6.3 (ISO 1173) — the standard sizing used across the vast majority of professional screwdriving bits. The Kraftform Plus multi-component handle is engineered to reduce hand fatigue during extended use.
Hard gripping zones support high-speed working, while softer zones maximise torque transfer — making this an ideal choice for electricians, joiners, and contractors who spend long periods driving fixings by hand.
