22 mm 1/2" Drive Insulated Socket
This 22 mm socket uses a 1/2 inch drive and a 12-point opening to fit standard fasteners. Two insulation layers provide protection up to 1000 V, with an orange outer layer and a yellow inner layer that acts as a visual safety indicator. Each piece is individually tested to ASTM F1505 standards. It is built for electricians and technicians working on live low-voltage equipment.
Capacity and headroom: 1000 V rating
The socket handles electrical tasks rated up to 1000 V, covering many industrial and automotive hybrid systems. The dual-colour insulation shows wear clearly so the user knows when the tool must be replaced. It is not suited for voltages above the tested limit or for fasteners larger than 22 mm.
Build fit: 1/2" drive compatibility
The 1/2 inch square drive fits common ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches already in a professional kit. The standard length keeps the profile low enough for tight engine bays or panel boards. Buyers needing insulated coverage for other hex sizes or drive sizes will require additional sockets.

Questions about this item
Will the 22 mm 12-point socket fit the 1/2" drive ratchet I already own?
Yes, the 1/2" drive matches standard 1/2" ratchets and extensions, so the 22 mm socket will engage your existing tools directly.
How can I confirm the insulation is still effective after I start using the socket?
The outer orange layer and inner yellow layer act as a visual indicator; if the yellow layer becomes visible, the insulation has been compromised and the socket should be replaced.
Does the package include any additional sockets or only the single 22 mm piece?
The listing describes a single 22 mm, 12-point, 1000 V insulated socket; no other sockets or accessories are included.
