The OEL IT-12317 is a 17mm socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive, offering standard non-specialized drive engagement with insulated construction for electrical safety applications. This tool is manufactured to support work on live electrical equipment, with insulation tested and rated for exposure up to 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC maximum, aligning with common practice requirements for insulated hand tools. It is built to withstand incidental impacts and is described as flame retardant, contributing to safer handling in environments where electrical hazards are present.
The tool is certified to meet IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and exceeds certain performance expectations outlined by ASTM standards for insulated tools. It is positioned to help meet compliance expectations under OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 Subparts S and K, as well as NFPA 70E, indicating its suitability for electrical maintenance tasks where voltage exposure is possible. The description notes a double-insulated design and mentions a lifetime warranty, with manufacturing indicated as the USA origin. While these claims point to robust electrical-safety characteristics, users should verify installation compatibility and voltage requirements for their specific tasks.
Typical use cases include maintenance or repair work on energized equipment where a 17mm socket is appropriate and where insulated hand tools help provide a degree of protection against electrical shock. Practically, ensure correct socket size and drive fit for your torque requirements, and confirm any site-specific PPE or tool-usage policies. This item is packaged as a single 17mm socket suitable for standard tool chests or hanging storage, and operators should follow employer safety programs and tool maintenance guidelines to preserve insulating properties and performance over time.
