Insulated 13/16-Inch Socket for High-Voltage Work
This Wiha Tools socket is an insulated hand tool designed for electrical safety during live-line maintenance. It features a 13/16 inch SAE opening with twelve-point geometry and a standard 1/2 inch drive square. The chrome vanadium construction has a chrome finish for corrosion resistance. It is supplied new for professional electricians and industrial maintenance teams.
Suited for Electricians.
This socket suits qualified personnel who must work on or near energised equipment up to its rated insulation class. The twelve-point profile engages fastener flats quickly in restricted access. Buyers who only need a standard 13/16 inch socket for mechanical tasks without electrical hazard should look at non-insulated alternatives. The Proposition 65 warning also applies to users in California.
Insulation Rating Is the Deciding Specification
The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is its certified insulation rating for live electrical work. That rating determines the maximum voltage environment where the tool provides protection. Without verifying that rating against your specific safety standard, the socket cannot be selected for high-voltage tasks. Always confirm the insulation class before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2" drive fit my 1/2" drive ratchet?
Yes, the socket has a 1/2" drive square that matches any standard 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar.
Do I need to remove the chrome finish before using the 13/16" insulated socket?
No, the chrome finish stays on; simply push the socket onto the fastener until it seats fully on the 12-point opening.
When should I replace the 13/16" insulated socket?
Replace it if the insulation is cracked, the 12-point opening is rounded, or the 1/2" drive square shows wear that prevents a secure fit.
