Socket Set Wera 05004960001

The Wera 05004960001 socket set includes 3/8" VDE-insulated sockets designed for safe electrical work. Each socket has a red outer VDE insulation layer and a yellow insulation core that becomes visible if the outer layer is damaged, providing an immediate visual indicator of compromised protection. The sockets are individually tested according to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V and rated for safe use at the approved working voltage of 1,000 V. Compact and lightweight, the sockets suit tasks where both electrical safety and precise metric sizes are required.

Advantages

VDE-certified insulation with a dual-layer design improves user safety by revealing damage to the outer layer. Individual testing to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V confirms electrical reliability for work up to 1,000 V. The 3/8" drive and metric socket sizing provide compatibility with standard tools and fasteners while the compact dimensions and low weight support ease of handling and storage.

Suitable for

• Electrical installation and maintenance work on systems up to 1,000 V
• Professional electricians and service technicians
• Mechanics and DIY tasks requiring insulated sockets and metric sizes

How to use

Select the appropriate metric socket and fit it to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or extension. Before use, visually inspect the red outer insulation for any cuts or abrasions; if the yellow core is visible, do not use the socket. Use the socket for tightening or loosening fasteners within the approved electrical environment and working voltage limits. After use, store the sockets in a dry place to prevent mechanical damage to the insulation.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the sockets on live circuits without confirming the circuit is de-energised and isolated according to local safety procedures. Replace any socket that shows exposure of the yellow insulation core or other damage. Regularly check insulation integrity and keep tools clean and dry to maintain safety ratings.
