RS 12 Piece Insulated Socket Set

From RS PRO, this twelve-piece socket set is insulated for professional applications. The set comes complete with a 1/2 inch square socket driver and a selection of socket heads. It employs a reversible ratchet action for a smooth and low effort tightening or loosening of the fastener, and also an extension bar for added leverage when necessary.

The nine-piece insulated socket set is manufactured from high-grade chrome vanadium steel. The positively bonded insulation material has excellent mechanical and electrical properties, ensuring these tools can be used confidently in challenging environments. With a selection of metric sockets and imperial sockets, the set is an excellent choice for both electrical and industrial engineering applications.

The socket set is supplied in a convenient snap-shut case which keeps the pieces organised, for ease of storage and transportation.

Applications

This versatile socket wrench kit can be used whenever heavy duty socket fasteners need to be tightened or loosened, from changing car tires to repairing industrial machinery. With an extendable handle, the ratchet action makes light work of stiff fixings, saving you effort and time.

Any installation that deals with nuts and bolts can potentially benefit from a reliable socket set, as they are often a more effective way of applying torque to specific bolt sizes than other hand tools such as open-ended or ring spanners.

As this nine-piece socket set is insulated it is ideal for working with live parts or close to live parts up to 1000V ac. These tools are designed to help protect the user during live working, accidental contact or 'flashover' when working on or adjacent to energised systems. They are tested to a minimum of 10000 V, 50 Hz for 3 mins at various stages of manufacture.

Its insulation also makes it ideal for use outside and in very cold temperatures. This socket set can be used in a number of professional applications, such as;

• Electricians and electrical engineers
• Automechanic
• Industrial engineer
