13mm 12-Point Insulated Socket
This 13 mm socket uses a 3/8 inch drive and a 12-point opening for standard fastener work. It is individually insulated and tested to ASTM F1505 standards for user protection up to 1000 V. The orange outer layer and yellow inner layer act as a visual safety indicator. It suits electricians and technicians working on live low-voltage equipment.
1000 V ASTM F1505 Limit
The insulation is rated for a maximum of 1000 V and validated under ASTM F1505. It does not protect against voltages above that level or against transient spikes beyond the tested threshold. Damage to either insulation layer compromises the safety barrier and requires immediate replacement. The tool is not intended for high-voltage distribution or transmission networks.
13 mm Hex Capacity
The 13 mm hex opening fits common metric fasteners found in electrical panels and terminal blocks. The 12-point drive engages the fastener at multiple angles for easier alignment in tight spaces. It cannot turn larger or smaller hex sizes, and the fixed drive size limits use to compatible 3/8 inch ratchets or extensions. The standard length suits typical access depths but may not reach deeply recessed bolts.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 13 mm 12-point socket or another size for 1000 V work?
Choose this 13 mm 12-point socket when the fastener is exactly 13 mm; its orange-over-yellow insulation is tested to ASTM F1505 for 1000 V protection.
How does the 1000 V rating protect me on a live panel?
The double-layer insulation — orange outer, yellow indicator — is individually tested to ASTM F1505, so it withstands 1000 V and shows damage if the yellow layer appears.
What does the 3/8" drive limit in practice?
The 3/8" square drive fits standard 3/8" ratchets and torque wrenches, capping the maximum torque you can apply to the 13 mm 12-point socket.
