The OEL IT-12268 is a 1 inch socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive, offering a deep profile and insulated construction rated for 1000V. Manufactured in the USA, this tool is built to support electrical work where voltage isolation is essential and is backed by a double-insulated design and a lifetime warranty per the supplier’s description. It’s intended for professional use in PPE contexts where electric utility or electrical project standard compliance is relevant.
The socket is specified to meet multiple safety standards and performance criteria relevant to insulated hand tools. It is tested to withstand up to 10,000 volts alternating current and is rated for a maximum exposure of 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC, which informs its suitability for certain live-utility tasks. The combination of insulation and flame-retardant properties contributes to protection in environments where electrical hazards and potential arc exposure may be present. These attributes help support adherence to applicable OSHA and NFPA 70E considerations when selecting hand tools for energized work.
Practically, the 1 inch, 12-point configuration with a 1/2 drive and a deep reach provides compatibility with standard fasteners in settings that require insulated tools for increased clearance and access. When selecting this socket, verify your tool setup accepts a 1/2 drive and that the depth aligns with the fastener engagements you encounter. Packaging notes indicate a single-unit per package, appropriate for replacement on insulated-hand-tool kits or for field maintenance where 1 inch fasteners are common.”
