The OEL IT-12311 is a 11mm socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive in electrical service environments. It is insulated for voltage work and carries a 1000V rating, with a 1500V DC maximum exposure, offering a practical option for tasks that involve live electrical components when used with compatible tools and protective equipment. The product is described as double insulated and is backed by a lifetime warranty, aligning with the brand’s emphasis on reliable performance in electrical safety contexts.
This socket is built to meet established safety standards for insulated hand tools, including IEC 60900 for insulation performance and heightened conformance to ASTM standards relevant to insulated tools. It is intended to support tasks that may intersect with OSHA and NFPA 70E guidance, helping workers stay in compliance when working near energized systems. Its construction is described as impact resistant and flame retardant, attributes that contribute to durability in field conditions where tools may encounter incidental impacts or heat exposure during electrical work.
Practical use considerations include compatibility with standard 1/2" drive tools and the 11mm size for appropriate fastener engagement in electrical applications. The 12-point (points) design aids in alignment and engagement, while the insulation rating informs the safe planning of tasks around live circuits. Packaging is listed as each unit, and this helps ensure precise stocking and tool inventory for maintenance or electrical service teams.
Because the record does not specify material composition, country of origin beyond the stated Made in the USA, or additional warranty details beyond the lifetime claim, these factors are not confirmed here. For buyers, confirm compatibility with your drive tooling and verify that your work scenarios align with IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E expectations before use in energized environments.
