Product Information

Full details

This Laser 17-piece 3/8" drive insulated socket set is designed for professionals working on modern high-voltage applications, including hybrid and EV maintenance. Its key benefit is providing safe, live working up to 1000V thanks to VDE/GS and IEC60900 approvals. A potential caveat is the 1-year warranty, which may be shorter than some professional-grade tool warranties.

FAQs

What does VDE/GS and IEC60900 approval mean?

VDE/GS and IEC60900 are international standards certifying that tools are insulated and safe for working on live electrical systems up to 1000V AC or 1500V DC.

Can this set be used for standard automotive repairs, not just high voltage?

Yes, while designed for high voltage safety, the set functions as a standard 3/8" drive socket set for general automotive tasks.

What are the specific socket sizes included?

The set includes 14 x 3/8" drive Bi-Hex sockets in sizes: 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, and 19mm.

How long are the extension bars?

The set includes two extension bars: one 150mm long and one 250mm long.

What is the warranty period for this set?

The Laser Insulated Socket Set comes with a 1-year warranty.

Is the case water-resistant?

The blow mold case provides protection against dust and moderate impacts, but it is not rated as water-resistant.

Can I use these sockets with a standard (non-insulated) ratchet?

While technically possible, it is strongly advised against using insulated sockets with non-insulated ratchets when performing high-voltage work, as this would negate the safety benefits of the insulated tool.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

Check if the socket is fully seated on the drive and the bolt head. Ensure the direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise) selector is properly engaged. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may need servicing.

Socket difficult to remove from ratchet

Press the quick-release button firmly to disengage the locking mechanism. If stuck, try gently tapping the release button or using a small amount of lubricant on the mechanism.

Visible damage to insulation

Immediately stop using the tool. Damaged insulation compromises safety. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified tool repair service for assessment or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides certified protection for working with up to 1000V live systems.
Includes a good range of common metric socket sizes for various tasks.
The included ratchet and extension bars offer versatility.
The blow mold case keeps all components organized and protected.
Suitable for specialized, high-risk automotive work like EV repair.

Cons

The warranty period is limited to 1 year.
May not include specialized sockets or adapters required for all high-voltage systems.
The 3/8" drive may be insufficient for very heavy-duty applications requiring a 1/2" drive.
Insulated tools can be bulkier than standard tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This socket set requires no complex setup. Ensure all sockets and accessories are properly seated on the 3/8" drive ratchet or extension bars before applying force. The set is compatible with standard 3/8" drive accessories. For care, always clean the sockets and ratchet after use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove grease and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the set in its fitted blow mold case when not in use to protect the insulation and prevent loss of components. Inspect the insulation regularly for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear, and discontinue use if compromised.
