1/2" 12-Point Insulated Socket

The Gray Tools 1408-I is a 1/2 inch drive socket with a 12-point opening. It is built for professionals working on live electrical equipment up to 1000 V. Each piece is individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards for reliable insulation performance.

Dual-layer insulation with visual indicator

An orange outer insulation layer covers a yellow inner layer that acts as a safety indicator. If the yellow layer becomes visible, the insulation is compromised and the socket must be replaced. This design provides clear headroom for spotting wear before protection is lost.

Tested for 1000 V working protection

The socket meets ASTM F1505 requirements for 1000 V insulated hand tools. It carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. No power draw, thermal output or noise is generated during normal hand-tool use.

Questions about this item

Will the 1408-I socket fit my existing 1/2" drive ratchet and extensions?

Yes, the 1408-I has a standard 1/2" square drive that works with any 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or extension you already own.

How can I verify the insulation on the 1408-I is still safe after I start using it?

The socket has an orange outer layer over a yellow inner layer; if the yellow layer becomes visible the insulation is compromised and the socket should be replaced.

Does the 1408-I come with a ratchet or case, or is it just the single socket?

The 1408-I is sold as a single 1/2" 12-point insulated socket; a 1/2" drive ratchet, extensions or storage case must be purchased separately.
