Wiha Tools 31624 1/2 in 24 mm 12-Point Insulated Socket

SKU CH-GNJ5-01S3C

A 24 mm 12-point insulated socket with a 1/2 in drive, alloy steel construction and compliance with ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards

  • Insulated design meets ASTM F1505 and EN/IEC 60900 for live-line safety
  • 12-point geometry grips 24 mm metric fasteners securely
  • 1/2 in drive fits standard ratchets and torque wrenches
  • Chrome-finished alloy steel resists corrosion in workshop conditions
  • VDE and CSA markings confirm compliance with electrical-work standards

1/2-in drive 24 mm insulated socket

This Wiha Tools 31624 socket has a 1/2-in drive and a 24 mm metric opening. The 12-point geometry engages the fastener at more positions than a 6-point design. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA 70E and VDE standards for insulated hand tools.

For electricians and maintenance technicians

The VDE and IEC 60900 ratings make this socket suitable for live-line work up to the voltages covered by those standards. Technicians who need impact-rated sockets should look elsewhere because this model is not impact rated. Users requiring SAE sizes or smaller drive sizes will need a different socket.

ASTM F1505 and IEC 60900 certified insulation

The insulation complies with ASTM F1505 and EN/IEC 60900, the key standards that verify dielectric protection for hand tools used on energised equipment. This certification is the single specification that confirms the socket is appropriate for electrical safety applications.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/2 in drive 24 mm 12-point insulated socket onto my ratchet without damaging the insulation?

Align the square drive with the ratchet anvil, press straight on until the ball detent engages, and avoid twisting the chrome alloy steel body which can stress the insulated coating.

What maintenance will the 24 mm 12-point insulated socket need over time?

Wipe the chrome alloy steel surface clean after each use, inspect the insulated coating for cuts or abrasion before every job, and replace the socket if the insulation shows any damage.

What limit appears first when the 24 mm insulated socket sees sustained high torque?

The alloy steel body yields before the 12-point profile strips, so the socket permanently deforms rather than rounding the fastener corners.
