The OEL IT-11317 is a 17mm socket designed for 3/8 inch drive use, engineered for insulated electrical work. It is built to withstand live electrical environments while you work, offering documentation-compatible protection that aligns with common safety standards for insulated hand tools. This socket is described as made in the USA and is presented with a double-insulated construction and a lifetime warranty, signaling an emphasis on long-term reliability in high-voltage contexts.
Key features indicate the tool is tested for safety against energized exposure, with an arc rating of 1000 VAC and a maximum exposure of 1500 VDC. It also meets or exceeds relevant standards for insulated hand tools, including IEC 60900 and ASTM 1505, and aligns with OSHA and NFPA 70E considerations that govern electrical safety in the workplace. The design includes a 12-point geometry suitable for engagement with fasteners in electrical maintenance tasks, and it carries a standard 3/8 inch drive, making it compatible with common impact wrenches and ratchets used in industrial settings. The combination of impact resistance and flame retardant properties supports performance in environments where heat and arc events may occur, though it is essential to verify compatibility with your specific tool lineup and your facility’s safety programs.
Practical considerations for use include selecting this 17mm size when working on equipment anchored to or interacting with energized circuits at voltages approaching the 1000 VAC insulation rating. The packaging is listed as “Each,” indicating individual unit handling. Users should maintain standard inspection and maintenance practices for insulated hand tools and ensure their use remains within the rated exposure limits and the protective equipment policies of their facility.
