Wiha 31493 Insulated Socket Set 10 Pc 3/8 Drive 6 Pt

Product Description

The WIHA 31493 is a 10-piece insulated standard socket set designed for electricians and electrical tradespeople working on or near energized equipment. The set covers 3/8-inch drive sockets ranging from 5/16 inch to 3/4 inch in 6-point configuration, providing secure engagement on fasteners with minimal risk of rounding. Each socket is manufactured to meet ASTM F1505, EN/IEC 60900, and NFPA-70E standards for insulated hand tools, making this set appropriate for live electrical work environments where shock hazard is present. The complete set ships in a blow-molded case for organized storage and job-site transport.

This socket set is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations, panel work, motor terminations, switchgear maintenance, and other applications requiring compliance with NFPA-70E arc flash and shock protection guidelines. The 6-point socket design reduces fastener cam-out and is appropriate for standard hex fasteners encountered in electrical equipment, conduit fittings, and control panels. Licensed electricians and electrical maintenance technicians are the primary users of this set.
