The OEL IT-11368 is a deep 18mm socket designed for use with a 3/8 drive, offering insulated performance for electricians and maintenance personnel working with energized systems. Its insulation and design support safe handling when exposure to electrical sources is a consideration, and it is intended to help users perform tasks in environments where electrical hazards are present.
Construction and compliance features include insulation designed to meet IEC 60900 standards for insulated hand tools and to exceed ASTM 1505 performance criteria. The tool is tested to 10,000 VAC and rated for a maximum exposure of 1,000 VAC / 1,500 VDC, which provides a defined electrical protection boundary during use. Additional attributes noted in supplier materials include impact resistance and flame retardancy, contributing to durability under demanding field conditions.
Practical use considerations center on compatibility with common 3/8" drive systems and 18mm fasteners, with a distribution setup indicated as a single package (each). The product is described as Made in the USA and carries a lifetime warranty claim in reference materials, which may be relevant to procurement and service expectations. When selecting this socket, users should confirm their tool platform compatibility, ensure the 18mm size matches their fastener requirements, and consider inspection and maintenance of insulated tools to preserve the protective rating over time.
Given the electrical rating and standards references, this socket is positioned for applications in electrical power, utility, and industrial maintenance tasks where insulated hand tools are advantageous. It is important to verify the exact standard applicability for regulatory environments at the job site and to maintain any manufacturer warranty terms through proper use and care.
