Each socket is cold-extruded from chrome vanadium (Cr-V) steel, individually insulated, and tested by German VDE to withstand 10,000V, in accordance with IEC\/EN 60900. A chrome-plated finish beneath the insulation resists corrosion, and the 12-point hex opening seats onto a fastener at twice the angular positions of a 6-point socket — handy when there's limited ratchet swing arc. Available in 10mm and 12mm, both sharing an 80mm overall length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e VDE-insulated sockets are a safety-critical PPE-adjacent tool. Inspect insulation for cracks, nicks, or wear before every use, never use a socket with damaged insulation, and pair only with VDE-insulated drive tools (ratchet, extension) when working live. Insulation rating and certification apply to the tool as supplied — do not modify, grind, or re-plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVDE certified, tested to 10,000V\u003c\/strong\u003e — individually verified for insulation integrity and withstand voltage, per IEC\/EN 60900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1000V-rated insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e — safe for use on or near live low-voltage electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12-point (bi-hex) socket opening\u003c\/strong\u003e — engages fasteners at more angular positions, ideal for tight swing-arc access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep 80mm body\u003c\/strong\u003e — reaches recessed and extended-length fasteners a standard-depth VDE socket can't\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold-extruded Cr-V (chrome vanadium) steel\u003c\/strong\u003e — high strength-to-weight with excellent fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChrome-plated surface finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — corrosion resistant beneath the insulating jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\/8\" square drive\u003c\/strong\u003e — pairs with SATA 3\/8\" VDE-insulated ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSATA lifetime warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — backed by one of the most trusted names in professional insulated tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecification Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSize (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eOverall Length (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDrive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003ePoints\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eInsulation Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eTested Withstand Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003ePcs\/Set\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eWeight\/Set (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA12540\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA12542\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCertified by German VDE per IEC\/EN 60900.
