The OEL IT-11316 is a 16mm drive socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive tools and features insulation suitable for electrical work. This standard-length socket is manufactured in the USA and is described as double insulated with a lifetime warranty, reflecting a focus on reliability in environments where incidental contact with energized components may occur. The tool is built to meet established electrical safety standards and is intended to integrate into insulated hand tool sets used by professionals who perform tasks on or near energized equipment.
In terms of construction and compliance, this socket is specified to meet IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and to exceed ASTM 1505 requirements, supporting use in applications governed by electrical safety guidelines. It is rated for an exposure of up to 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC, and is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, which can contribute to durability in field conditions where tools may experience rough handling or heat exposure. The product documentation also notes alignment with OSHA requirements (29 CFR Part 1910.331–335) and NFPA 70E considerations, underscoring its role in electrical safety programs.
Practically, this socket is sized for 16mm fasteners and features 12-point engagement, making it suitable for tasks requiring reliable torque transfer with a smaller, standardized fastener profile. When selecting this tool, confirm it matches the drive size (3/8 inch) and the 16mm fastener you intend to work with. The packaging lists the unit as a single piece, which is relevant for inventory and tool-set planning. As with any insulated tool, users should inspect insulation integrity prior to use and follow applicable safe-work guidelines to ensure proper application and performance.
