The OEL IT-58092 is a 17 mm L-shaped insulated hex wrench designed for tasks that involve live electrical equipment. Its purpose is to enable bolt and nut adjustments while minimizing the risk of electrical shock within permitted exposure levels, aligning with common PPE practices for electrical maintenance. The tool is intended for use in environments where insulation against electrical hazards is required up to specified limits, and it carries a 1000 VAC maximum exposure rating to help reduce current flow during handling near energized circuits.
Construction and eligibility details indicate that the wrench is insulated to meet recognized standards for insulated hand tools and is designed to withstand voltages encountered in field service. It is reported as double insulated, and the manufacturer specifies it for use up to high-voltage environments, with a stated arc rating of 1000 VAC and 1500 VDC maximum exposure. The combination of mechanical design (L-shaped hex wrench) and electrical insulation is meant to provide a specific balance of torque application and insulating protection during use, while the stated flame-retardant and impact-resistant properties contribute to resilience in industrial settings.
Potential buyers should consider compatibility with 17 mm fasteners and the conditions of their electrical work. The product is packaged as a single item per package and is intended for professional electrical tasks where adherence to relevant standards matters, including IEC 60900 and applicable OSHA and NFPA 70E considerations when selecting insulated tools. As with any insulated tool, users should inspect the wrench for damage before each use and retire tools that show compromised insulation or mechanical wear to maintain protective effectiveness.
For procurement, the item is listed under the OEL brand with manufacturer part number OELIT-58092. The specifications indicate size 17 mm and an insulation exposure rating, aiding buyers in selecting a tool that matches their voltage protection needs and the bolt head dimension required for their application.
