Purchase now: Wago 210-722 Operating Tool
Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Wago 210-722, the essential **Operating Tool (Screwdriver)** specifically designed for Wago’s spring-loaded terminal blocks. While standard flathead screwdrivers can work, they often have sharp edges that damage the plastic housing or slip out of the actuation slot. The 210-722 features a specially shaped blade (**5.5 x 0.8 mm**) and a partially insulated shaft, optimized for opening **CAGE CLAMP®** connections on larger rail-mounted terminal blocks (e.g., Series 282, 283, 284, 285).
Technical Specifications and Ergonomics
The tool is manufactured from high-quality chrome-vanadium steel for durability. The handle is ergonomically designed for maximum grip and torque transfer, reducing hand fatigue during panel building. The blade geometry is «wedged» to hold the spring open securely while you insert the conductor, ensuring a gas-tight connection every time without fumbling.

Expert Tips: Avoiding Terminal Damage
Using the wrong tool is the #1 cause of broken terminals. Expert Tip: The 210-722 is sized for specific slot widths. Do not try to jam it into smaller terminals (like the 2.5mm² series 280), as you will crack the plastic side walls. Conversely, using a small 3.5mm screwdriver on a large 10mm² terminal (Series 284) will twist the blade and damage the spring mechanism. Always match the tool size to the terminal datasheet.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is this VDE insulated for live working?
A: No, the 210-722 is an assembly tool. For live working up to 1000V, you must use the **Wago 210-721** or similar VDE-certified insulated screwdrivers.
Q: Can I use it for TopJob S terminals?
A: Generally no, TopJob S terminals usually require a 3.5mm blade (210-720) operating in the vertical slot. The 210-722 is for the classic front-entry or side-entry large cages.
