FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this insulated socket?
The primary purpose is to provide a safe means for working with fasteners in high-voltage electrical environments, minimizing the risk of electrical shock.
What safety standards does this socket meet?
It meets IEC60900, Category C, and ASTMF1505 specifications, and is tested at 1000 volts for 3 minutes while submerged in water.
What is the warranty on the ITL Insulated Socket?
The product comes with a lifetime warranty that covers both the tool and its insulation.
What is the operating temperature range for this socket?
It can operate within a wide temperature range of -40ºF to 158ºF (-40ºC to 70ºC).
Is this socket suitable for general automotive repair?
While it is a 17mm socket, its specialized insulation is designed for high-voltage electrical work. For general automotive repairs where electrical hazards are not present, standard non-insulated sockets are typically used.
What material is the socket made from?
It is crafted from high-quality injection-moulded nylon thermoplastic.
How should I clean the insulated socket?
Clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure it is dry before storage or use.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the fastener
Verify that the fastener is indeed 17mm. Ensure you are using the correct 3/8-inch drive tool.
Insulation appears damaged or compromised
Immediately discontinue use of the socket. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified professional for inspection or replacement.
Socket is difficult to attach to or remove from the drive tool
Check for debris in the drive socket or on the drive tool's square head. Ensure both are clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a hand tool and requires no specific setup beyond attaching it to a compatible 3/8-inch drive ratchet or impact wrench. Ensure the drive size matches.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and impact wrenches. Its primary compatibility lies in its intended use with electrical systems up to 1000V as per testing standards. It is also compatible with metric fasteners of size 17mm.
Care:
- After use, clean the socket with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Store in a dry, protected area to prevent corrosion or damage.
- Periodically inspect the insulation for any signs of cracks, wear, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and replace the socket.
- Avoid exposing the socket to excessive heat or harsh chemicals that could compromise the insulation.
- Ensure the socket is dry before use, especially if it has been submerged for testing or cleaning.
