Laser Insulated Extra Long Slim Series Star Bit Socket - T10 - 3/8" Drive

This socket is primarily designed for working on restricted access TORX fixings, commonly found in electric and hybrid vehicle batteries and power systems, where electrical insulation is also required.

The socket is manufactured to IEC60900 standards and is safe for operator use on live circuits up to 1000v AC and 1500v DC.

The slimline shaft has a diameter of 4mm, allowing it to fit into very narrow gaps between components where standard sockets would not be able to reach.

The bit is made from durable S2 steel, known for its strength and resistance to wear.

While it can be used for any T10 TORX fixing, its specialized extra-long, slim, and insulated design makes it most valuable for specific applications like EV/hybrid maintenance. For general use, standard sockets may be more practical.

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store in a dry environment. Regularly inspect the insulation for damage. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the insulation.

The overall length of the socket is 155mm.

Ensure you are using the correct T10 size bit and that the screw head is clean and free from debris. Verify the socket is fully seated on the screw.

Use appropriate extensions or a wobble extension with your 3/8" drive ratchet to gain better angles. The slim shaft is designed for tight spaces, but extreme configurations may still require careful tool manipulation.

Immediately cease using the socket for any electrical work. The tool is no longer rated for live circuit protection. Replace the socket to ensure safety.

Inspect the bit for signs of rounding or chipping. Continued use with a damaged bit can strip fasteners. For heavy wear, replacement may be necessary.
