Gray Tools 1411-I 11/16" 12-Point 1/2" Drive Insulated Socket

Insulated 11/16" Socket

This insulated socket fits 1/2" drive tools and engages 12-point fasteners at 11/16". It is built for electricians and technicians who work on live equipment up to 1000 V. The orange outer insulation covers a yellow inner layer that acts as a wear indicator. Each piece is individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards.

Voltage and Standard Limits

The insulation system is rated for 1000 V and meets ASTM F1505 requirements for dielectric protection. It does not extend the voltage rating of the ratchet or extension used with it. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at smaller swing angles but does not replace a 6-point socket where maximum torque on damaged heads is required. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the product.

Dual-Layer Build and Daily Use

The orange top layer shields the yellow indicator layer beneath; if yellow becomes visible the socket must be removed from service. This visual check speeds up pre-job inspection on site. The 1/2" square drive accepts standard impact or hand ratchets without adapters. The standard-length body reaches typical panel-board fasteners while the insulation thickness adds modest bulk compared with uninsulated sockets.
