- 1000 V insulation protects during live electrical work
- Dual orange and yellow layers give instant visual wear check
- Tested to ASTM F1505 for verified safety compliance
18 mm insulated socket for 1000 V work
The 18 mm hex fits 12-point fasteners on live equipment up to 1000 V. Orange outer insulation covers a yellow indicator layer that reveals damage at a glance. Each piece is individually tested to ASTM F1505. The 1/2-inch drive suits standard ratchets and torque tools.
Electricians and high-voltage technicians only
Designed for professionals who service energised panels, switchgear or hybrid systems where 1000 V protection is mandatory. Buyers needing only occasional DIY fastening or lower-voltage automotive work will find the insulation and test regime unnecessary. Not suited for impact drivers or non-insulated applications.
ASTM F1505 certification and dual-layer insulation
The socket carries individual ASTM F1505 verification for 1000 V AC/DC. The orange-over-yellow coating acts as a built-in wear gauge: if yellow shows, the socket must be removed from service. This single safety credential determines whether the tool meets your site safety plan.

Questions about this item
What does the 1000 V rating mean when I am using the socket on live equipment?
The socket is individually insulated and tested to ASTM F1505, providing user protection for up to 1000 V with an orange top layer and a yellow safety-indicator layer.
How does the 1/2 inch drive with 12-point geometry engage the fastener?
The 12-point drive fits standard 1/2 inch ratchets and engages an 18 mm hex fastener at multiple angles for easier alignment in tight spaces.
What clearance do I need for the insulated socket to fit on an 18 mm bolt?
The socket is built to standard length for an 18 mm hex size with a 1/2 inch drive, so it fits where a regular deep socket of the same dimensions would fit.
