The OEL IT-12-718 is a 9/16 inch hex bit socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications that require electrical insulation. It is labeled as insulated to help protect users when working near energized equipment, and its construction adheres to established safety standards for insulated hand tools. The tool is described as double insulated with a design intended for durability in electrical environments, and it carries a lifetime warranty per the manufacturer’s description.
Specific features cited include meeting IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E-related requirements, with claims that it exceeds certain ASTM insulated hand tool standards. It is tested for resistance to voltage, with a rating of 1,000 VAC and a maximum exposure of 1,500 VDC, and is described as impact resistant and flame retardant. These attributes are relevant for field technicians who engage with live electrical systems, providing a higher level of protection during fastening tasks on energized lines or equipment.
For use, this socket is compatible with standard 1/2 drive tools and is sized for 9/16 inch fasteners. The product is positioned for professional PPE use in electrical maintenance and installation settings. Packaging is noted as individual units, and the specification suggests a focus on reliability in environments where insulation and electrical safety are priorities. When selecting, confirm that the 1/2 inch drive and 9/16 inch hex size match the intended tooling and fastener applications, and consider the insulation requirements of the work environment to determine if additional PPE is needed.
