The OEL IT-11208 is a 3/8 inch drive insulated socket designed for safe use with energized electrical equipment. Built for electrical work, this standard-profile socket is crafted to withstand high voltage testing and intended for use in environments where insulation and protection are required during maintenance and repair tasks. The item is marketed with a focus on being made in the USA and featuring double insulation, which contributes to its resistance to arc and impact while handling live circuits.
Key construction and features are highlighted by IEC 60900 and ASTM 1505 conformance, which establish recognized benchmarks for insulated hand tools used in electrical tasks. The product carries an insulation rating suitable for 1,000 VAC and a maximum exposure of 1,500 VDC, aligning with common safety expectations for insulated hand tools. Additionally, the tool is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, factors that can influence performance in demanding field conditions and during incidental contact with hot or arcing surfaces. These attributes matter because they support safer handling and reduce risk when working near energized components, subject to compliant use in accordance with applicable standards.
Potential users include electrical tradespeople and maintenance personnel who need reliable hand tool interfaces while performing tasks such as tightening or loosening fasteners on energized systems. When selecting this socket, users should confirm compatibility with their 3/8 inch drive tools and ensure correct engagement with standard 12-point fasteners. This item is sized at 3/8 inch with a 12-point configuration and is packaged as an individual unit. For maintenance and safety considerations, rely on the manufacturer’s specifications and recommended usage guidelines to ensure proper application and protection during electrical work.
