The OEL IT-66-253 is a 1/8 inch slotted screwdriver with a 3 inch shaft designed for electrical and industrial use. It is insulated up to 1000V or 1500V DC maximum exposure, providing an important safety margin for tasks involving energized equipment. The tool is manufactured in the USA and features a double-insulated construction, contributing to a straightforward, single-insulation approach that reduces the need for a secondary protective layer in many work scenarios. The design and materials aim to support electrical work while maintaining practicality for general assembly or maintenance tasks that require a slotted driver.
This screwdriver carries multiple standards-oriented assurances, including IEC 60900 compliance for insulated hand tools and an endorsement that it meets or exceeds relevant insulating tool standards. It’s also referenced as supporting OSHA requirements related to electrical safety standards (29 CFR Part 1910.331-335 and Subpart S; 29 CFR Part 1910.269 Subpart K) and NFPA 70E considerations. The rating, combined with impact resistance and flame retardant properties, is intended to help workers perform tasks with a reduced risk of conductive damage or heat-related hazards during typical field or shop operations. The item is packaged as a single tool per unit, with a specification that lists a 1/8" blade size and a 3" length, aligning with common slot dimensions used in electrical hardware assembly and servicing.
When selecting this tool, ensure the sizing matches the slot on fasteners you encounter and that the insulation rating aligns with the voltage exposure expected in your work. For practical use, verify that your application’s voltage and task profile fall within the stated insulation limits and maintain standard inspection practices for insulated tools, such as checking for cracks or damage before use. The part number to reference is OELIT-66-253, and the package is listed as Each."}
