1/2 in Drive SAE Socket

This insulated socket is designed for hand use with a 1/2 in drive and an 11/32 in hex opening. It meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA 70E, and VDE standards for electrical safety. The 12-point alloy steel construction features a chrome finish. It is intended for professional and DIY applications requiring insulated tooling.

Verify Drive Size and Insulation Needs

Confirm your ratchet or breaker bar accepts a 1/2 in drive before ordering. Ensure the 11/32 in size matches the fastener you intend to turn. Check that your work environment requires insulated tools rated to the listed standards. This socket is not impact rated, so do not use it with power impact wrenches.

Suited for Electrical and General Maintenance

Electricians and technicians working on live or de-energised equipment up to the rated voltage will find this socket appropriate. It suits users needing a single insulated SAE socket for specific fastener sizes. Buyers requiring a full set of insulated sockets or impact-rated drive tools should look at other options. Anyone needing metric sizing instead of SAE will need a different product.

Questions about this item

Does the Wiha 31704 socket come as a single piece or in a set, and do I need to buy a 1/2 in drive ratchet separately?

This listing is for one 11/32 in insulated socket. A compatible 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar is not included and must be purchased separately.

The specs list several standards — VDE, ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900 and NFPA 70E — what do they cover for this socket?

Those standards certify the socket for insulated hand-tool use on live electrical work. The VDE and EN/IEC marks mean it has been individually tested.

The socket is described as 12-point and impact-rated No — what does that mean when I am turning a fastener by hand?

The 12-point geometry gives more engagement angles in tight spaces. Because it is not impact rated, use only with hand-driven ratchets or torque tools.
