Professional Electrician Socket
The Wiha Tools 31439 is a 3/8 inch drive socket sized at 7/8 inch with a 12-point hex profile. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish for professional electrician use. The hand tool meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards. It is rated for standard applications and not impact rated.
Upgrade From Basic Sockets
This socket replaces standard chrome sockets that lack insulated tool certifications. The jump is worth it when working on or near live electrical systems up to the rated voltage. The VDE and IEC 60900 compliance provides verified insulation protection. It also satisfies NFPA 70E requirements for workplace electrical safety.
Build Integration Needs
The 3/8 inch drive fits compatible ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches already in the kit. The 12-point hex geometry engages fasteners from multiple angles in tight panels. Alloy steel construction resists rounding on SAE hardware. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical exposure during handling.
