The OEL IT-11-878 is a TORX bit socket designed for 3/8 drive use, offering standard sizing with insulated protection suitable for electrical environments. This tool is intended for tasks that require a Torx T27 bit engagement and a robust socket interface, while meeting insulated-hand-tool standards to help reduce electrical risk during use. The product carries a note of being Made in the USA and features a double-insulated construction, which supports a broader voltage tolerance and adds a level of protection when handling energized components. The inclusion of an insulation rating up to 1,000 VAC and a maximum DC exposure of 1,500 V, along with an arc rating of 1,000 VAC, provides context for selecting tools in environments where electrical hazards are present. The tool is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, attributes that contribute to durability and safer operation in demanding conditions.
In practice, this socket is positioned for tasks in electrical or utility settings where a Torx bit engagement is required alongside compliance with established electrical-safety standards. It is suitable for use in scenarios that align with IEC 60900 and the relevant OSHA and NFPA 70E expectations for insulated hand tools, as well as applicable subpart requirements. When selecting, users should ensure compatibility with a 3/8-inch drive tool and confirm that the T27 bit profile matches the fastener being serviced. The packaging indicates the unit is sold as an individual piece, which aids in planning for maintenance inventories and spares management.
This OEL part, with the provided specifications, should be paired with compatible insulated-hand-tool practices and PPE programs to maintain safe work procedures. Verify any site-specific requirements and ensure that tool use aligns with your organization’s electrical-safety policies and the relevant standards for insulated hand tools.
