16 Piece Insulated 3/8" Drive Torque 12 Point Socket Set - SAE - Wiha

The Wiha 30190 16-Piece Insulated 3/8" Drive Torque 12 Point Socket Set - SAE is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics who require uncompromising safety and precision when working with energized systems. This comprehensive SAE set delivers robust electrical protection while ensuring the accuracy critical for sensitive fastening applications. Designed for seamless integration with 3/8" drive torque wrenches and ratchets, these VDE-rated sockets provide essential reliability in high-voltage and delicate work environments.

Key Features

• Certified Electrical Safety: Each SAE socket is individually tested to 10,000V AC and rated for safe operation up to 1,000V AC (1,500V DC). These VDE-insulated tools meet rigorous safety standards including ASTM F1505, EN/IEC 60900, NFPA-70E, and CSA, providing protection against electric shock.
• Versatile 12-Point Design: The 12-point profile facilitates easier alignment and increased engagement positions, particularly useful in confined spaces. This design accommodates both hex and 12-point fasteners, enhancing versatility across various tasks.
• Precision Torque-Ready Construction: Crafted from chrome-vanadium-molybdenum hardened tool steel, these sockets are forged and oil-hardened to withstand precise torque settings. This construction supports accurate and reliable assembly by helping to prevent fastener stretch and thread damage.
• Professional 3/8" Drive Compatibility: Engineered for integration with standard 3/8" drive torque wrenches and ratchets, this set is a foundational asset for professional automotive, fleet, and industrial shops. The torque wrench features a locking endcap torque adjuster for easy adjustments, a fully visible dual scale (Ft./lbs. and Nm), and a separate socket release button for quick changes. Accuracy is rated at ±10%.
• Comprehensive SAE Coverage with Storage: The set includes a range of imperial sizes from 1/4" to 7/8", commonly encountered on domestic vehicles, industrial equipment, and legacy machinery, ensuring broad application coverage. A robust storage case keeps all 16 insulated sockets organized, protected, and easily transportable for both workshop use and field service calls.

Applications

This insulated socket set is ideally suited for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid vehicle service, fleet maintenance, industrial electrical work, and facilities maintenance where insulated tools are mandatory for safety. Common uses include servicing vehicle electrical systems, battery and starter connections, control cabinets, switchgear, telecom racks, and machinery that utilize SAE fasteners in energized or potentially live environments.
