The OEL IT-10304 5MM Socket is a standard 1/4 inch drive insulated hand tool designed to work with energized electrical systems. This 5mm socket carries insulation rated for up to 1,000 VAC and 1,500 VDC maximum exposure, reflecting its suitability for tasks that require protection from electrical shock in accordance with recognized standards. The tool is built to meet IEC 60900 and to exceed ASTM 1505, and it aligns with electrical safety requirements found in OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 Subparts S and K, as well as NFPA 70E, making it appropriate for use in many electrical safety programs where insulated tools are specified. It is described as double insulated and is marketed with a lifetime warranty, underscoring a focus on reliability in safety-critical environments.
Constructed for durability, this socket is rated to withstand impact and is flame retardant, characteristics that contribute to maintaining performance in fieldwork or workshop settings where tools may be dropped or subjected to heat. The 12-point geometry provides multiple engagement corners for improved turning effectiveness on 5mm fasteners in a standard 1/4 drive configuration. The product is intended for professional electrical tasks that involve working near energized equipment, where keeping hands and tools insulated is a priority. It is supplied as an individual piece, tagged for easy inventory handling.
Practically, technicians can pair this socket with compatible insulated handles or ratchets specified for 1/4 drive configurations. Users should ensure accordance with relevant electrical safety protocols and verify compatibility with their existing toolset in terms of drive size, fastener size (5mm), and stated arc rating. Regular inspection for insulation integrity is advisable to maintain safety performance over time.
