The OEL IT-11356 is a 6mm deep, 3/8 inch drive insulated socket designed for professional electrical work where voltage exposure is a concern. This tool is built to perform as part of a protective toolkit, with insulation rated to withstand 1,000 VAC and up to 1,500 VDC maximum exposure, supporting safer handling around energized equipment. The socket is molded and tested to meet widely recognized standards for insulated hand tools, including IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E considerations, and it also aligns with OSHA-related requirements for electrical safety practices where applicable. The unit is manufactured in the USA and is presented with durability features such as impact resistance and flame retardance, attributes that help the tool withstand the demanding conditions found in field service and maintenance tasks.
Construction and distinguishing features include a 6mm size with a 12-point profile for engaging fasteners, and a 3/8 drive compatibility for use with standard impact or torque wrenches common in electrical maintenance. The product emphasizes its double-insulated design and a lifetime warranty, underscoring confidence in performance and long-term reliability under typical professional use. While the stated specifications focus on size, drive, and arc rating, users should consider the insulation rating when selecting tools for working near live circuits or within electrical panels where compliance with electrical safety protocols is essential.
Practical use involves applications in electrical installation, maintenance, and repair tasks where insulated hand tools are preferred to reduce the risk of arc flash exposure. This socket accommodates 3/8" drive accessories and is intended for use in environments that require adherence to electrical-safety standards. Packaging details indicate a single unit per package, suitable for field kits or shop inventories that prioritize standardized insulated tools. Always verify compatibility with your drive tools and ensure the insulation rating matches the specific voltage and energy exposure of your worksite.
