OEL IT-39-318 18mm Socket, 1/2 Drive, Deep, Insulated 1000V

The OEL IT-39-318 is an insulated deep socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive, providing a dedicated solution for electro/mechanical tasks where voltage exposure is a concern. Its 18 mm size and deep profile are suited for accessing recessed fasteners in electrical or industrial equipment, while the insulation aims to offer protection when working near live circuits.

Built to meet recognized safety standards, this socket is designed to comply with IEC 60900 for insulated hand tools and to exceed the requirements of ASTM 1505. It is tested for voltage exposure up to 10,000 VAC and rated for a maximum exposure of 1,000 VAC / 1,500 VDC. The combination of impact resistance and flame-retardant characteristics helps address the demands of demanding field environments, where tools may encounter accidental contact with energized components.

This product supports workplaces governed by electrical safety regulations, including guidance under OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.331–335 and related Subparts S and K, as well as NFPA 70E recommendations. When selecting tooling for electrical maintenance, ensure compatibility with a 1/2 inch drive and verify proper sizing for the targeted fasteners. The package presentation is listed as a single unit, and the item is represented as a made-in-the-USA solution within the OEL brand lineup.

For best practice, use with compatible insulated hand tools and insulated tool sets, verify the tool’s rated exposure matches the working voltage, and inspect for any damage before use. Proper maintenance and storage away from sources of heat or physical damage help preserve insulation performance over time.
