Socket 1/2" 12 mm 1000V insulating hexagon NEO tools 01-183

Insulating 1/2" 12 mm hexagon socket from NEO tools designed for electrical work where hand tool insulation is required. This 6-point socket fits standard 1/2" drive wrenches and ratchets and provides mechanical torque transfer to hex fasteners while offering insulation rated to 1000 V. The tool is intended for use by electricians and maintenance professionals during installation, repair and service tasks on live or potentially live circuits.

Advantages

The socket combines a precise 6-point hex profile for secure engagement with fasteners and a durable insulating coating that meets the 1000 V rating for increased user safety. Its compatibility with 1/2" drive tools ensures easy integration into existing toolsets, and the compact 12 mm size allows access in confined spaces. Constructed to withstand typical workshop use, the socket provides reliable torque transfer and consistent fit on hex heads.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance on live or potentially live circuits
• Assembly and disassembly of electrical panels and terminal blocks
• Service and repair of industrial machinery where insulated tools are required
• General electrical and maintenance work in buildings and facilities

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" compatible drive
• Hex size: 12 mm
• Point profile: 6-point (hexagon)
• Insulation rating: 1000 V
• Intended application: insulated hand tool for electrical work
• Material characteristics: metal core with insulating coating for electrical protection

How to use

Select the socket that matches the hex fastener size and mount it on a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Before use, visually inspect the insulating coating for cracks, chips or other damage; do not use if the insulation is compromised. When working on live or potentially live circuits, follow standard safety procedures, de-energize the circuit where possible, and use the insulated socket to apply torque to the fastener. Avoid exposing the insulation to sharp edges or excessive heat that could degrade its protective properties.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket only as part of a set of insulated tools rated for the intended voltage and environment. Regularly inspect insulation integrity and clean the tool after use. Store separately from non-insulated tools to prevent accidental damage to the insulating layer.
