17 mm 12-Point Insulated Socket

This 17 mm socket uses a 3/8 inch drive with a 12-point profile. It is insulated to 1000 V and tested to ASTM F1505. Two insulation layers provide protection, the outer orange layer and an inner yellow layer that acts as a visual wear indicator. The tool is supplied new for professional electrical work.

Suited For Live Electrical Tasks

Electricians and technicians working on or near energised equipment up to 1000 V will find this socket appropriate. The yellow indicator layer gives a clear sign when insulation integrity is compromised. Buyers who need a different hex size or a non-insulated socket for general mechanical work should look at other options.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The insulation system is designed to maintain its dielectric rating during continuous contact with live parts. The dual-layer construction ensures the yellow warning layer remains visible if the outer orange layer suffers abrasion over time. Each socket is individually tested to ASTM F1505 so performance remains consistent throughout extended use.

Questions about this item

What drive size do I need on my ratchet for the 17mm 12-point socket?

The socket has a 3/8" drive, so your ratchet or breaker bar must accept a 3/8" square drive.

Will the orange and yellow insulation layers interfere with a standard 3/8" extension?

The insulation covers the socket body but the 3/8" drive end remains compatible with standard extensions and ratchets.

How can I verify the socket is still safe after a drop?

Inspect the orange outer layer; if the yellow inner layer is visible, the insulation is compromised and the socket must be replaced.
