The OEL IT-11358 is a deep 8mm socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive, offering insulation up to 1000V to support electrical safety during maintenance and assembly tasks. This tool is positioned for professional environments where hand tools must withstand electrical exposure while maintaining reliable mechanical performance. The construction and finishes are shaped to align with common PPE-driven requirements for insulated hand tools used by electricians and other trades that interact with live electrical components.
Engineered to meet recognized standards for insulated tools, the 8mm socket is described as double insulated and carries a lifetime warranty in brand messaging. It is tested for electrical resilience with an insulation rating of 1,000 VAC and a maximum exposure of 1,500 VDC, alongside an arc rating of 1,000 VAC. The tool is also described as impact resistant and flame retardant, which suggests durability in challenging work conditions where tools may be dropped or exposed to heat sources typical on job sites. These attributes are relevant for buyers looking to reduce the risk of electrical shock during use or handling near energized equipment.
Practical use involves installing or removing fasteners on electrical hardware or enclosures where insulation helps mitigate shock risk while using a 3/8 drive. The packaging indicates an individual unit as the package size, and size specification is 8mm with a 12-point drive interface, aligning with common socket configurations. When selecting this tool, confirm compatibility with your existing 3/8 in drive tools and ensure that usage scenarios fall within the standard electrical safety practices described by applicable codes and standards. Maintenance typically involves standard inspection for wear and damage, with attention to any compromise in insulation or mechanical integrity.
