1/4″ Drive Insulated Socket

This Wiha Tools socket is a 1/4″ drive hand wrench accessory built for insulated electrical work. It meets EN/IEC 60900, ASTM 1505, NFPA70E, CSA and OSHA 29 CFR 1910 standards. The double covered insulation uses red over yellow layers for visual damage detection. It is designed for professional electricians and maintenance technicians who require certified hand tools.

Fits 1/4″ square drive ratchets

The female square drive accepts any standard 1/4″ ratchet or torque wrench without an adapter. Its 1″ overall length keeps the profile short for tight panels and junction boxes. The hex output engages SAE 1/4″ fasteners with a 6‑point grip that reduces rounding. The chrome vanadium body and chrome finish resist corrosion in workshop environments.

Handles live circuits up to rated voltage

The insulation system is tested to the referenced standards for work on energised equipment. The red‑over‑yellow coating lets the user spot nicks or wear before the tool becomes unsafe. It is not tether capable, so drop‑prevention lanyards cannot be attached directly. The socket covers standard depth fasteners only; deep recesses require a different tool.
