18 mm 1/2" Drive Insulated Socket
This 18 mm insulated socket features a 12-point opening and a 1/2-inch square drive. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards for electrical safety. The tool is rated for hand use only and is not impact rated.
Electricians and maintenance technicians
Electricians and maintenance technicians working on live equipment up to the rated voltage will find this socket suitable for fastening 18 mm metric hardware. It is not intended for impact drivers or high-torque mechanical applications where an impact-rated socket is required. Buyers needing drive sizes other than 1/2 inch or sockets for imperial fasteners should select a different tool.
18 mm 12-point opening
The single specification that decides fit is the 18 mm 12-point opening matched to a 1/2-inch drive. This combination determines whether the socket engages the specific fastener and connects to the insulated ratchet or torque wrench already in the kit. Verify both dimensions against the job requirements before purchase.
