ITL Insulated Deep Socket - 1/2in Drive - 16mm - Multicolor

Fully insulated means the entire tool, including the socket head and drive opening, is covered with a non-conductive material designed to protect the user from electrical shock when working with live circuits up to the rated voltage.

The socket is tested to and exceeds IEC60900, Category C, and ASTMF1505 standards, ensuring high levels of safety and performance for electrical work.

Yes, the socket is designed to withstand impact and is Category C Impact Tested. However, always follow the safety guidelines for both the socket and your impact wrench.

The socket is rated for operation in a wide temperature range, from -40ºF to +158ºF (-40ºC to +70ºC).

The lifetime guarantee covers both the tool itself and its insulation, ensuring it will perform as specified for its intended lifespan under normal use.

While durable, its primary design is for electrical safety. For general automotive repair where electrical hazards are not a concern, standard metal sockets may be more suitable. However, it can be used if the specific fastener size and drive are needed.

Store the socket in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the nylon thermoplastic insulation.

Verify that the drive tool is indeed a 1/2 inch drive. Inspect the socket's drive opening for any debris or damage that might be obstructing the fit. Ensure you are using a standard 1/2in drive tool.

Confirm the fastener is exactly 16mm. Measure the fastener if possible. Ensure the socket's internal dimensions are clear of debris. This is a deep drive socket, so ensure you are not confusing it with a shallow socket application where fit might feel different.

Discontinue use immediately. Damaged insulation compromises safety. Contact ITL for warranty service or replace the socket to ensure continued protection.
