1000 V insulated socket storage

The Gray Tools 605-I is a 5 mm hex socket with a 1/4 inch drive and six-point geometry. It is insulated to protect the user up to 1000 volts and individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards. Electricians and maintenance technicians working on live or de-energised low-voltage panels are the intended users. Buyers needing larger drive sizes or impact-rated sockets cannot use this item.

Dual-layer insulation and visual wear indicator

An orange outer insulation layer covers a yellow inner layer that acts as a safety indicator. If the orange layer is damaged the yellow layer becomes visible, signalling that the socket must be replaced. The insulation is moulded directly onto the socket body for a secure fit. The six-point drive reduces fastener rounding during high-torque applications.

Tested for dielectric performance

Each piece is tested to ASTM F1505 to verify its 1000 V rating before it leaves the factory. The insulation adds minimal bulk so the socket fits standard 1/4 inch ratchets and extensions without clearance issues. No external power source or cooling is required during use. Users must inspect the yellow indicator layer before every job to confirm integrity.

Questions about this item

What voltage protection does the 1000 V insulated 5 mm socket provide?

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 is required to use this 5 mm 6-point socket?

This socket uses a 1/4 inch drive. You need a matching 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension to operate it.

How do you verify the insulation is still safe before each use?

Inspect the yellow inner layer. If it becomes visible through the orange outer layer, the insulation is compromised and the socket must be replaced immediately.
