SKU CH-FXYW-EMYB0

A 1/2" drive 12-point socket for 9/16" hex, insulated to 1000 V with dual-colour safety layers and tested to ASTM F1505

  • 12-point drive geometry engages fastener flats for secure grip
  • 9/16-inch hex opening fits common automotive and industrial bolts
  • Dual orange and yellow insulation layers provide visual wear indication
  • 1000 V rated protection for live electrical work
  • Individually tested to ASTM F1505 standard for verified safety

9/16-Inch 1000V Insulated Socket

This Gray Tools 1409-I socket is a 12-point, 1/2-inch drive tool rated for 1000 V protection. It is built for electricians and maintenance technicians who work on live or potentially energised equipment. The 9/16-inch hex opening fits common fastener sizes in electrical panels and machinery. Each piece is individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards.

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 lets users verify integrity at a glance before every job. The insulation is moulded directly onto the socket body for a secure bond.

Upgrade From Uninsulated Or Single-Layer Sockets

This socket replaces standard chrome sockets that offer no voltage protection and single-layer insulated sockets that lack a wear indicator. The jump is worth it when work requires verified 1000 V insulation and a clear go-or-no-go visual check. It is not for buyers who need a full insulated set or technicians who require metric hex sizes.

Questions about this item

How does the 1000 V insulation rating on this socket protect the user?

The socket has an orange outer insulation layer and a yellow inner layer that acts as a visual safety indicator; it is individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards for protection up to 1000 V.

What drive size and hex opening does this 1409-I socket require for fitment?

It uses a 1/2 inch drive and a 9/16 inch hex opening with a 12 point configuration for standard length applications.

What is the correct way to inspect the insulation before each use?

Check that the orange outer layer is intact and the yellow inner layer is not visible; if yellow shows through, the insulation is compromised and the socket must be replaced.
