9/16" VDE-Tested Insulated Socket

This Wiha Tools hand socket is built from alloy steel with a chrome finish and a 1/4" drive. It meets ASTM F1505, CSA, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA70E and VDE standards for insulated hand tools. The 6-point design engages fastener flats to reduce rounding. It is rated for hand use only and carries a Proposition 65 warning.

Electricians And Maintenance Technicians

The insulation and VDE certification suit professionals working on or near live electrical systems up to the rated voltage. Mechanics needing impact-rated sockets for powered drivers should look elsewhere, as this piece is not impact rated. Buyers requiring metric sizes or larger drive profiles will need a different socket.

1/4" Drive Hand-Tool Assembly

The 1/4" square drive fits standard ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches of the same drive size. The chrome finish resists corrosion in shop environments. Because it is not impact rated, it frees the user from needing heavy impact accessories while maintaining the safety insulation required for electrical work.

Questions about this item

Does this 1/4" drive socket fit the ratchet I already own?

Yes — the socket has a 1/4" square drive, the standard size for most compact ratchet handles.

Will the 9/16" size work on the same fasteners as my older SAE sockets?

The 9/16" 6-point opening matches the standard SAE hex size, so it engages the same bolt heads as any other 9/16" socket.

How can I verify the insulation is still intact after use?

Check the chrome finish for cracks or wear; the socket meets ASTM F1505 and EN/IEC 60900, so intact insulation is your visual pass/fail indicator.
