10 mm 12-point insulated socket

The Wiha Tools 31510 is a 3/8 inch drive metric socket sized at 10 mm with a 12-point profile. 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. The product is supplied new.

Suited for live electrical work up to rated voltage

This socket is designed for professionals who require VDE-certified insulated hand tools when working on or near energised parts. It is not intended for impact-driven applications, as the specifications list Impact Rated No. Buyers needing drive-tool compatibility should verify their 3/8 inch drive equipment separately.

3/8 inch drive size determines fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the correct part is the 3/8 inch drive size, which must match the ratchet or torque wrench being used. The 10 mm hex opening and 12-point geometry then define the fastener fit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3/8 in drive 10 mm 12-point insulated socket and what step do people get wrong?

Attach the 3/8 in drive square to a compatible insulated ratchet or torque wrench until it locks; the step often missed is verifying the tool is also rated to EN/IEC 60900 before live work.

What maintenance or replacement will the 10 mm 12-point insulated socket need later?

Inspect the chrome alloy-steel body and insulation before each use; replace the socket immediately if the coating shows cracks, cuts or if the 12-point profile rounds off.

What limit shows up first on the 3/8 in drive 10 mm insulated socket under sustained use?

The socket is not impact rated, so repeated high-torque or impact loading will deform the 12-point drive or damage the insulation before the alloy steel itself yields.
