- 10 mm hex fits common fasteners
- 1/2 inch drive works with standard ratchets
- 12-point drive engages bolt heads from multiple angles
- Dual-layer orange and yellow insulation protects up to 1000 V
- Tested to ASTM F1505 standard for verified safety
10 mm insulated socket for high-voltage work
This Gray Tools socket is built for 1000 V protection on live electrical systems. It meets ASTM F1505 test requirements and carries a 10 mm hex size with a 1/2 inch drive. Two insulation layers, orange over yellow, give a visual safety indicator if the outer layer is damaged.
Electricians and technicians needing certified
Professionals working on energised equipment up to 1000 V will find this socket suitable. It is not for general mechanical use where insulation is not required, nor for applications that demand impact-rated tools. Buyers who need a different hex size or a non-insulated socket should select another product.
12-point drive for 10 mm fasteners
The 12-point configuration engages 10 mm fasteners with a standard-length profile. This drive style is the deciding specification when matching the socket to the fastener geometry and available clearance.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 10mm 12-point insulated socket on a 1/2" drive ratchet, and what step is often missed?
Push the socket squarely onto the 1/2" square drive until it locks; the step often missed is verifying both orange and yellow insulation layers are intact before use.
What maintenance or replacement will the 1000V insulated socket need over time?
Inspect the orange and yellow insulation layers before each use; replace the socket immediately if the yellow safety-indicator layer becomes visible through the orange layer.
What limit appears first when the 10mm insulated socket is used continuously near its 1000V rating?
The ASTM F1505 insulation test rating defines the maximum verified protection; sustained exposure at or above 1000V can degrade the dual-layer insulation, making the yellow warning layer visible first.
