3/8 in Drive 13/16 in Socket

This insulated socket is designed for professional electricians and maintenance technicians who work on live low-voltage systems. It provides a 13/16 inch, 12-point SAE opening driven by a 3/8 inch square drive. The tool meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards for insulated hand tools.

Verify drive size and insulation needs

Confirm that your ratchet or torque wrench accepts a 3/8 inch drive before ordering. Ensure the job requires an insulated tool rated to the referenced standards, as this socket is not impact rated. The 12-point configuration fits standard SAE fasteners measuring 13/16 inch across the flats.

Suited for electrical panel work

Ideal for electricians tightening or loosening terminal lugs and panel hardware where insulated tools are mandated. Not suitable for mechanics needing impact-rated sockets for high-torque automotive applications. Buyers requiring metric sizes or different drive configurations should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What comes with the 3/8 in drive 13/16 in socket and what must be purchased separately?

The socket is sold as a single piece; no accessories or storage case are included, so any ratchet, extension or organiser is a separate purchase.

Which version of the 13/16 in socket should I choose for insulated electrical work?

This model carries ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE markings, identifying it as the insulated, 12-point alloy-steel version rated for live-line use.

What do the ASTM F1505 and EN/IEC 60900 markings mean when the socket is on a 3/8 in drive ratchet?

They certify the socket insulation for working on energised circuits, so the combination remains compliant for voltages covered by those standards.
