1/2 in Drive 28 mm Insulated Socket

The Wiha Tools 31628 is a 1/2 inch drive metric socket sized at 28 mm with a 12-point profile. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a chrome finish and meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards for insulated hand tools. This socket is designed for professional electricians and maintenance technicians working on live equipment up to the rated voltage.

Installation fits standard 1/2 inch drive tools

The socket slides onto any 1/2 inch square drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench without adapters. The 12-point opening engages hex fasteners at multiple angles for easier alignment in tight spaces. Because the tool is not impact rated, it must only be used with hand-driven tools; using it with an impact wrench can damage the insulation and the drive geometry.

28 mm 12-point insulated opening

The single specification that determines fit is the 28 mm 12-point hex size combined with the insulated rating. If the fastener is a different metric size, uses a 6-point profile or requires impact-rated construction, this socket will not suit the application. Buyers needing a non-insulated socket or a different drive size should select another part.
