SKU CH-XZEQ-J343R

1/2 inch drive 13 mm 12-point metric socket insulated to ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards

  • 12-point design grips fastener flats securely
  • 13 mm metric size fits common hardware
  • 1/2 inch drive works with standard ratchets
  • Insulated to EN/IEC 60900 for live-line safety
  • Alloy steel with chrome finish resists corrosion

13 mm Insulated Socket

This 13 mm insulated socket uses a 12-point profile and a 1/2 in drive for standard hand operation. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA 70E and VDE standards for electrical safety.

Electrical work only

The socket is designed for professionals who require insulated hand tools rated for live electrical work up to the standards listed. It is not suited for impact-driven applications or for users who need a non-insulated socket for general mechanical fastening.

Simple hand-tool fitting

Installation consists of placing the socket onto a compatible 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar by hand. The most common issue is attempting to use the socket with an impact wrench, which the product is not rated to withstand.

Questions about this item

What drive-size ratchet or breaker bar do I need to turn this 1/2 in drive 13 mm socket?

Use any 1/2 in square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench; the socket’s 1/2 in drive fits that standard directly.

Will this 12-point 13 mm socket fit the same fasteners as my older 6-point 13 mm sockets?

Yes, the 12-point 13 mm opening engages the same metric bolt heads, though it contacts the flats at more angles.

How can I verify the socket meets the ASTM F1505 and IEC 60900 insulation ratings after I receive it?

Look for the VDE and CSA marks moulded on the chrome alloy-steel body; those marks confirm compliance with ASTM F1505, EN/IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E.
