Product Number: 18653
Working on hybrid or electric vehicle electrical systems demands insulation you can trust. The Draper Expert XP1000® VDE Socket (1/4" Sq. Dr., 5mm) is forged from hardened chrome vanadium steel with a 6-point drive form, combining structural integrity with precise engagement on fasteners. The socket is fully VDE-insulated and has been tested to 10,000V, making it suitable for safe working on live circuits of 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC. This testing standard is the benchmark for professional electrical work on hybrid and electric vehicles, where contact with live components presents a genuine hazard. The 1/4" square drive and 5mm hex size make this socket well suited to the close-tolerance fasteners commonly encountered during EV and hybrid powertrain servicing. The XP1000® designation reflects the Draper Expert quality tier, with the chrome vanadium steel construction providing resistance to rounding and deformation under working loads. For workshops and technicians who regularly undertake hybrid or electric vehicle maintenance, this socket offers a safety-compliant, professional-grade option within the Draper Expert range.
