Socket set Wera 05004962001

VDE-insulated 3/8" sockets with an inner yellow insulating sleeve that remains visible if the outer red VDE insulation is damaged. Each socket is individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 volts to ensure safe use up to the rated 1,000 volts.

Advantages

The Wera 05004962001 sockets combine VDE safety insulation with compact dimensions (46 mm length, 23 mm width) and low weight (61 g), offering electrical protection certified by IEC 60900 while keeping the tool easy to handle and carry. The contrasting inner yellow sleeve provides a clear visual indicator of any damage to the outer red insulation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Electrical maintenance and repair on installations up to 1,000 V (live work prohibited where not allowed by regulations)
• Working on electrical panels and switchgear with insulated hand tools

How to use

Select the correct metric socket and attach it to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or handle. Before use, visually inspect the red outer insulation and the visible inner yellow sleeve for any damage. Use the insulated socket only for electrical work within the rated voltage limits and follow applicable safety regulations and lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use the tool if the insulation is cracked, cut, or otherwise compromised.

Usage recommendations

Store the insulated sockets separately from non-insulated tools to avoid abrasion of the VDE coating. Periodically re-inspect and, where required, have the insulation checked by a competent person to ensure continued compliance with safety standards.
