WAGO 210-658 Angled Operating Tool, Short 3.5 x 0.5 mm Blade, Partially Insulated Shaft

The WAGO 210-658 operating tool is a purpose-built screwdriver-style lever and terminal actuator featuring a short, angled 3.5 x 0.5 mm blade optimized for WAGO terminal blocks and spring-clamp connectors. Its partially insulated shaft and compact length give technicians reliable access to densely packed control panels, marshalling cabinets, and junction boxes while helping reduce the risk of accidental contact with adjacent live parts under proper work practices.​

• Blade and geometry: 3.5 x 0.5 mm angled blade sized specifically for WAGO terminals, providing positive engagement and controlled actuation without damaging the clamp mechanism.​
• Shaft design: Short, partially insulated shaft improves maneuverability in confined spaces and supports precise work on multi-tier terminal blocks and compact devices.​
• Use cases: Suited for panel builders, OEMs, and maintenance teams working on industrial machinery, building automation, HVAC controls, and process I/O where WAGO terminal technology is standardized.​
• Ergonomics: Multicolored handle improves tool identification in kits and shop environments, supporting efficient, repeatable assembly and service workflows.​

For engineers and manufacturing professionals, standardizing on the WAGO 210-658 alongside WAGO terminal families helps ensure consistent, low-risk actuation of spring-clamp and CAGE CLAMP® components throughout the product lifecycle—from panel build to commissioning and field service.

Features & specifications (WAGO 210-658)

• Angled operating tool for WAGO terminals: Designed specifically to actuate WAGO spring-clamp / CAGE CLAMP® style terminal blocks and connectors for repeatable, controlled operation in panel and field wiring.​

• 3.5 x 0.5 mm blade geometry: Short, narrow blade sized to fit WAGO terminal actuation slots, helping prevent slippage and damage to the clamp.​

• Partially insulated shaft: Insulation along the shaft reduces the risk of accidental contact with adjacent live parts when used under proper de-energized work practices.​

• Angled tip for tight spaces: Angled blade and compact length improve access to dense terminal rows, multi-tier blocks, and recessed connectors in modern control cabinets.​

• Screwdriver-style handle: Ergonomic handle design supports repetitive actuation in production lines and maintenance work with good torque and grip.​

• Visual identification: Distinctive multicolored handle makes the tool easy to identify in tool drawers and on the shop floor, aiding standardized tool kits.​

Engineer- and manufacturing-focused use cases

• Control panel assembly: Used by panel shops to open and close WAGO terminal block clamps during wiring, rework, and FAT, improving speed and consistency versus generic screwdrivers.​

• Machine OEM production: Standardized as the line-side tool for wiring machine control cabinets, I/O racks, and terminal marshalling where WAGO blocks are specified.​

• Field service and commissioning: Carried by service technicians to safely access and re-terminate conductors in installed WAGO-based systems during commissioning, upgrades, or troubleshooting.​

• Building automation and HVAC: Used to wire and maintain WAGO-equipped terminal strips in AHUs, rooftop units, VFD panels, and BMS enclosures with limited space.​

• Test stands and lab setups: Supports rapid reconfiguration of WAGO terminals in R&D test rigs, prototypes, and lab panels without damaging terminal mechanics.
