The OEL IT-20318BO is an insulated open-ended wrench designed for electrical and maintenance work where high voltage exposure is possible. Sized at 18 mm, this tool is built to withstand live electrical environments while providing reliable mechanical performance for tightening and loosening fasteners. The wrench is specified to handle up to 1000 VAC maximum exposure, with a DC rating of 1500 VDC, aligning with common requirements for insulated tooling used near energized equipment.
Construction and compliance details emphasize safety-focused standards. The tool meets IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and exceeds the ASTM 1505 standard, signaling enhanced dielectric performance alongside impact resistance and flame retardancy. It is designed to support regulatory and workplace safety programs by aligning with applicable electrical safety regulations, including OSHA subparts that cover electrical safety when using insulated tools. The tool is described as double insulated and is backed by a lifetime warranty, and it is manufactured in the USA by OEL, suggesting consistent quality controls typical of the brand.
Practical use of this 18 mm insulated open wrench includes electrical maintenance, panel work, and other tasks where a non-conductive tool is preferred to reduce shock risk. For best results, users should verify that the working voltage and insulation rating match their specific application conditions and equipment. This item is packaged as a single unit per package, suitable for inclusion in electrical maintenance kits or tool carts, and can be integrated with other OEL insulated hand tools as part of a safety-focused toolkit.
