15mm 1000V Insulated Socket
This 15mm socket uses a 1/2 inch drive and a 12-point design for secure fastener engagement. It is built for professionals who work on live electrical systems up to 1000 volts. The tool meets ASTM F1505 standards for insulated hand tools. It suits electricians and maintenance crews needing certified protection.
Dual-Layer Insulation System
An orange outer insulation layer covers a yellow inner layer that acts as a visual safety indicator. If the orange layer is damaged, the yellow layer shows through to warn the user. Each socket is individually tested to verify the insulation integrity. This design supports compliance with safety protocols for high-voltage environments.
12-Point Drive and Voltage Rating
The 12-point configuration allows engagement at multiple angles in tight spaces. The 1000V rating provides headroom for standard industrial and utility voltage classes. It handles 15mm hex fasteners commonly found on electrical panels and switchgear. The tool is not suited for fasteners larger than 15mm or for non-insulated high-torque impact applications.

Questions about this item
When should the 15mm 12-point insulated socket be replaced?
Replace the socket once the yellow safety layer becomes visible through the orange insulation, as this indicates the 1000 V protection is compromised.
What limits continuous use of the 15mm insulated socket?
The 1000 V insulation rating is the primary limit; the socket must not be used on circuits exceeding this voltage.
Does the 15mm insulated socket get hot during all-day use?
The socket itself does not generate heat; it only conducts temperature from the fastener or environment.
