Socket 1/2" 18 mm 1000V insulated, NEO tools 01-188

Insulated 1/2" 18 mm hex socket from NEO tools designed and rated for use on electrical installations up to 1000 V. This socket fits standard 1/2-inch drives and hex fasteners of 18 mm, combining mechanical compatibility with electrical protection. It is intended for use by electricians and maintenance personnel performing assembly, repair and servicing tasks where insulation against electric shock is required within the specified voltage rating.

Advantages

The socket provides certified insulation for work near live conductors up to 1000 V, while retaining the torque transfer and fit of a standard 1/2" drive hex socket. Its construction ensures a secure engagement with 18 mm hex heads to minimize rounding and slipping. The insulated exterior reduces the risk of accidental contact with energized parts during routine assembly and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation work and servicing on equipment within 1000 V rating
• Maintenance and repair of industrial and commercial electrical panels
• Assembly and disassembly of machinery with 18 mm hex fasteners
• Field service tasks that require insulated hand tools for safety

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2 inch
• Socket head: 18 mm hex
• Insulation rating: 1000 V
• Designed for use on hex fasteners and standard 1/2" drive tools
• Manufacturer: NEO tools

How to use

Select the socket for 18 mm hex fasteners and attach it to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Verify that the socket's insulation is intact and free of damage before use. When working on or near live circuits, confirm the working voltage does not exceed the 1000 V rating. Fit the socket fully onto the fastener, apply torque with steady force, and avoid using the socket if the insulation shows cracks, cuts or other defects.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the insulated socket regularly for wear and damage; store it in a clean, dry place away from solvents and sharp objects. Use in combination with other insulated tools and appropriate personal protective equipment when working on energized systems within the specified voltage rating.
