The OEL IT-10-312 is a 3/8 inch socket designed for use with a 1/4 inch drive, offering deep reach for access in tight or recessed areas. It is part of OEL’s insulated hand tool line and carries a 1000V rating, indicating its suitability for certain electrical work where voltage exposure is possible. The socket is manufactured in the USA and described as double insulated, with a lifetime warranty mentioned by the manufacturer. This construction supports use in environments where electrical safety is a concern and where insulated tools are expected to help reduce the risk of electric shock when used properly.
This specific tool is tested to 10,000 VAC and rated for a maximum exposure of 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC, which provides a quantified electrical safety credential to users handling energized components within its rated limits. The product is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, qualities that contribute to durability in demanding settings where tools may encounter drops or heat exposure. The socket meets IEC 60900 standards for insulated hand tools and is positioned to support compliance with applicable electrical safety guidelines, including references to OSHA and NFPA 70E considerations in its stated scope.
Practically, this socket is intended for technicians who require a protected tool option when working near live electrical systems. When selecting this piece, users should confirm drive size compatibility (1/4 drive) and the 3/8 inch socket size, as well as the deep form to ensure it reaches fasteners in recessed locations. Packaging is listed as a single unit per the package size, and the tool is designed for professional use in controlled work environments where insulated hand tools are recommended or mandated by safety programs.
