This Laser Tools VDE Insulated Socket Set is designed for electricians and technicians working on or near live electrical circuits. Its primary benefit is providing enhanced safety, allowing work on voltages up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC. A potential caveat is that it focuses on a specific size range, with larger sizes available separately. The set includes 10 essential 6-15mm single hex sockets with a 3/8" drive, all manufactured to stringent VDE and IEC60900 standards for professional use and supplied on a convenient aluminium rail.

These sockets are VDE certified for safe operator use on live voltages up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC.
The single hex (6pt) profile is designed for standard hex-head fasteners and provides excellent grip. For fasteners that are already damaged or rounded, a 12-point socket might offer a better initial grip, but the 6-point is less likely to slip on a good fastener.
No, these are insulated hand tool sockets and are not designed for use with impact wrenches. Using them with an impact wrench can damage the insulation and compromise safety.
The set includes VDE insulated socket sizes: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15mm, all with a 3/8" drive, supplied on an aluminium rail.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Regularly inspect insulation for damage and store in a dry place.
Ensure you are using the correct size socket and that the fastener has not been rounded or damaged. Verify the socket is a single hex (6pt) and compatible with the fastener head.
Immediately discontinue use of the affected socket. The VDE certification is compromised, posing an electrical hazard. Contact the supplier for replacement or consider purchasing a new set if outside of warranty.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head and that the drive tool (ratchet/extension) is properly engaged. Check for any debris in the socket or on the fastener.
Setup: The set comes pre-mounted on an anodised aluminium socket rail, requiring no additional setup. Simply attach the desired socket to your 3/8" drive ratchet or extension bar.
Compatibility: The 3/8" square drive is compatible with all standard 3/8" drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and extension bars. The single hex (6pt) profile is designed for standard hex fasteners.
Care: To maintain the insulation integrity and performance:
