The OEL IT-12208 is a standard 3/8 inch socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive. It is specifically insulated to support electrical maintenance work, aligning with established safety standards for insulated hand tools. The component is presented as a U.S.-made part with double insulation, and the manufacturer notes a lifetime warranty that reinforces its intended durability in professional settings.
Key build and compliance details highlight its electrical protection credentials: it is designed to meet IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and is stated to exceed ASTM 1505 in insulation performance. It is compatible with applications governed by OSHA requirements (29 CFR Part 1910.331–335 and Subpart S; 29 CFR Part 1910.269 Subpart K) and NFPA 70E, which are relevant for electrical safety programs in the workplace. The tool is tested for dielectric exposure, specified to withstand up to 10,000 VAC and rated for a maximum exposure of 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC, with impact resistance and flame retardancy as part of its protective features.
In practical use, this socket is intended for electrical maintenance scenarios where insulated tools reduce risk during live-line work or tasks near energized equipment. Its 3/8" size, 12-point configuration, and 1/2" drive compatibility should be matched with appropriate sockets and ratchets that support such a drive system. The product’s packaging is listed as Each, indicating individual unit sale. For maintenance or part inventory, confirm compatibility with your existing insulated tool sets and verify that any use complies with the applicable electrical safety standards and site-specific procedures.
