Wiha® 31493 3/8" Drive Insulated SAE Socket Set – 10-Piece

Official 1000V VDE High-Voltage Safety Insulation. High-Impact Double-Insulated Tool Mechanics. Comprehensive 5/16" to 7/8" Fractional SAE Range.

The Wiha 31493 10-Piece 3/8" Drive Insulated SAE Socket Set brings life-saving high-voltage shielding, exceptional mechanical torque leverage, and zero-compromise terminal safety directly to your specialized electrical service vehicle. Purpose-built to eliminate the severe arc-flash risks of operating standard metal wrenches inside energized enclosures, the catastrophic short circuits caused by exposed sockets, and the logistical nightmare of piecing together uncertified field kits, this premium German-engineered 1,000V insulated ratchet and socket system serves as an absolute fleet safety mandate. It arms utility master electricians, renewable energy field engineers, industrial switchgear technicians, and electric vehicle (EV) fleet mechanics with a robust safety infrastructure optimized to torque high-voltage terminal lugs, connect heavy-duty busbars, service grid storage batteries, and maintain emergency power distribution arrays safely.

Uncompromising life-protection engineering and rugged mechanical performance form the cornerstone architecture of this high-capacity Wiha 31493 Insulated Socket Set. Certified to cross strict VDE, IEC 60900, ASTM F1505, and NFPA 70E safety benchmarks, every individual tool in this kit is dielectrically water-bath tested at 10,000 Volts AC to ensure unfailing protection against live shocks up to 1,000 Volts AC (or 1,500 Volts DC). The professional 3/8" drive insulated ratchet features a smooth mechanical tracking assembly wrapped in a thick, high-impact safety multi-layer orange insulation coat that stands up completely to harsh workshop drops, scuffs, and chemical solvents. The sockets feature high-visibility sizing stamps and a secure dual-lock mechanical button release system on the ratchet head to completely prevent dangerous accidental component disconnects during hot tracking.

Why the Wiha® 31493 10-Piece 1000V Insulated Set Defends the Electrical Trade:

• Certified 1000V AC Live-Circuit Security: Thoroughly water-bath tested to 10,000V AC to guarantee compliance with OSHA, NFPA 70E, and VDE workplace electrical safety guidelines.
• Double-Insulated High-Impact Shells: Engineered with specialized impact-resistant safety coatings that isolate dangerous currents while resisting abrasion damage on raw steel frames.
• Quick-Click Positive Lock Ratchet: Features an insulated push-button lock mechanism that fastens sockets tightly to the 3/8" drive square, eliminating dropping loose parts into hot buses.
• Continuous Fractional SAE Range: Packs the most demanded fractional sizes from 5/16" up to 7/8", ensuring proper hexagonal torque fitments across primary power connections.
• Rugged Heavy-Duty Storage Organizer: Arrives neatly packed inside an impact-resistant, high-visibility storage box featuring dedicated cutouts to ensure immediate tool accounting.
