The OEL IT-12-719 is a 5/8 inch hex bit socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. This insulated socket is built to support work on energized electrical equipment, offering a rated exposure of up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC. It is manufactured in the USA and features a double-insulated construction intended to provide additional protection during high-voltage tasks. The tool aligns with recognized standards for insulated hand tools, including IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E, and it is designed to help meet relevant OSHA requirements related to electrical safety in the workplace. The socket is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, further supporting durability in demanding field conditions.
Documented construction and distinguishing features include a standard 1/2 drive interface and a length measured at 5/8 inch, with an overall size of 5/8 inch for the bit connection. The unit is marketed as a single-item package, suitable for technicians who perform maintenance or assembly tasks on electrical systems where exposure to live components is possible. The rated arc and voltage specifications reflect its intended role in reducing hazards associated with tool-induced electrical arcing when used per applicable safety protocols.
Practical use considerations center on compatibility with compatible 1/2 inch drive tools and appropriate insulated-hand-tool practices in electrical environments. The product’s insulation and tested voltage ratings inform users about the limits of protection it provides during tasks that involve live components, and maintenance considerations should follow standard care for insulated tools to preserve insulation performance. This part number is OELIT-12-719, and packaging indicates a single unit per package.
