The OELIT-12-715 is a 3/8 inch hex bit socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive, featuring standard (non-extended) length and insulation rated for 1000V. Manufactured in the USA by OEL, this tool is built to support electrical safety work where insulated hand tools are specified. It is positioned for tasks that require reliable hex-bit engagement in conjunction with insulated tools to minimize the risk of electrical shock when working near energized components.
This socket is certified to meet IEC 60900 standards for insulated hand tools and is stated to exceed ASTM 1505 requirements, providing a level of performance appropriate for permitted live work environments. The product is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, with a test exposure of up to 10,000 VAC and a maximum operating exposure of 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC. These specifications are important for selecting hand tools that align with electrical safety codes and practical field use where accidental contact with electrical sources occurs.
Use this insulated hex bit socket in combination with compatible insulated handles and torque tools when servicing electrical equipment or performing tasks that fall under relevant OSHA and NFPA 70E guidance. The 1/2 drive and 3/8 inch size indicate compatibility with standard socket wrenches and bit holders, while the indicated length supports standard reach for typical panel and equipment work. Each unit is packaged as a single piece, and the product is described as having a lifetime warranty in some supplier materials, reflecting confidence in its durability within its intended electrical-safety role.
