1/2-inch drive 27 mm hex socket

This insulated socket fits a 1/2-inch drive and engages 27 mm metric fasteners with a 12-point profile. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish for hand-operated use. The tool complies with ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E standards and carries VDE certification. It is not impact rated.

Capacity and headroom

The 27 mm opening handles standard metric hardware in electrical and general maintenance tasks where insulated tools are required. The 12-point geometry provides multiple engagement angles on compatible fasteners. The socket lacks an impact rating, so it must not be used with powered impact drivers or wrenches. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

VDE-certified insulated hand tool

This socket meets EN/IEC 60900 and VDE requirements for live working up to the voltages defined by those standards. The ASTM F1505 and NFPA 70E listings confirm suitability for electrical safety programmes. Buyers needing impact-rated sockets or non-insulated versions should select a different product. The part number is 31627.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in drive on this 27 mm socket fit the ratchets and extensions I already own?

Yes, the 1/2 in drive matches standard 1/2 in ratchets, breaker bars and extensions, so it works with existing tools of that drive size.

How can I verify the VDE insulation on the 31627 is intact before use?

Inspect the red and yellow insulation layers for cuts, cracks or wear; undamaged dual-colour coating confirms the socket still meets EN/IEC 60900 and ASTM F1505.

Does the box include any accessories or just the 27 mm socket itself?

Only the single 27 mm, 12-point insulated socket is supplied; no case, adapter or extra bits are included.
