The OEL IT-20218BO is a 1-inch open wrench engineered for electrical work where insulation is essential. This insulated tool is designed to withstand voltages encountered in live electrical environments while providing the leverage needed for loosening and tightening fasteners in electrical installations. Its insulated construction is intended to help reduce exposure to electrical hazards when used within the limits of its rated voltage, supporting work practices that require non-conductive tools during servicing of electrical equipment.
Manufactured with safety in mind, this wrench is described as double insulated and produced in the USA. It carries a voltage suitability statement of 1,000 VAC maximum exposure and 1,500 VDC, along with an Arc Rating of 1,000 VAC. The part is specified as meeting IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and exceeding ASTM 1505 standards, which are relevant benchmarks for insulating performance in hand tools. It is also aligned with OSHA requirements under 29 CFR Part 1910 Subparts S and 1910.269 Subpart K, and NFPA 70E, reinforcing its intended use in workplaces with electrical safety requirements. The tool is listed as impact resistant and flame retardant, contributing to durability in environments where incidental heat or mechanical stress could occur.
Practical use of this wrench includes electrical installation, maintenance, and repair tasks where non-conductive tools are preferred or required by safety programs. Practitioners should verify compatibility with the fastener size (1 inch) and ensure usage remains within the stated voltage rating. Packaging is indicated as a single unit per package, suitable for inclusion in tool kits and safety inventories. Maintaining awareness of its insulation limits and following the manufacturer’s guidance will help ensure the tool performs within its intended electrical safety envelope.
