Socket Set Wera 05004956001

The Wera 05004956001 socket set contains 3/8" VDE-insulated sockets designed for safe electrical work. Each socket has an inner yellow insulation core that becomes visible if the red outer VDE insulation layer is damaged, providing a clear visual warning. The sockets are individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V and rated for safe use up to 1,000 V. Compact and lightweight, the set offers metric sizes with a 3/8" drive for precision work.

Advantages

VDE-certified insulation with a dual-layer design enhances user safety by revealing damage through the exposed yellow core. Individual IEC 60900 testing at 10,000 V verifies high-voltage resistance and compliance for work up to 1,000 V. The compact 46 mm length and 44 g weight make the sockets easy to handle and suitable for confined spaces, while metric sizing and precise manufacturing support reliable fit and torque transfer.

Suitable for

• Electricians performing installation and maintenance on live or de-energized circuits within the 1,000 V rating
• Service technicians working on electrical panels and equipment
• Professional mechanics and advanced DIY users requiring insulated sockets for safety

How to use

Select the correct metric socket for the fastener and attach it to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or handle. Before use, visually inspect the red VDE insulation layer for cuts or abrasions; do not use if the yellow inner core is exposed. Use the sockets only within their 1,000 V rating and follow standard safe working practices for live electrical work, including appropriate personal protective equipment and adherence to local safety regulations.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the insulation for wear and replace any socket that shows damage to the outer layer or exposure of the yellow core. Store the sockets in a dry, clean environment and avoid exposure to solvents or excessive heat that could degrade insulation properties.
