Professional insulated socket
The Wiha 31519 is a 3/8 inch drive 19 mm 12-point insulated socket built for electrical work where live circuits may be encountered. It meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA 70E and VDE standards for insulated hand tools. Electricians and maintenance technicians use it for panel work and equipment servicing.
Sustained load behavior
The alloy steel body with chrome finish resists deformation when torque is applied repeatedly during fastener tightening or loosening. Because the tool is not impact rated, it is intended for hand use only; power or impact drivers will damage the insulation and the drive geometry. The insulation retains its dielectric properties under normal hand-tool forces.
Installation and common issues
The 12-point opening engages the fastener from multiple angles, speeding alignment in tight panels. The 3/8 inch square drive fits standard ratchets and extensions without adapters. The most frequent problem is insulation damage from using the socket on impact tools or striking it with a hammer, which voids the voltage rating. Inspect the coating before each use.

Questions about this item
Does the 19 mm insulated socket generate heat during extended use?
The socket is a passive hand tool with no moving parts or electrical load, so it does not produce heat.
What drive tool is required to operate the 3/8 in drive socket?
A 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench is needed to turn the socket.
Will the 12-point socket fit older 19 mm fasteners with worn corners?
The 12-point geometry engages more contact points than a 6-point design, helping grip rounded hex heads.
