Working safely on hybrid and electric vehicle electrical systems demands insulated tooling that meets rigorous safety standards. The Draper Expert XP1000® VDE Socket in 16mm with a 3/8" square drive is forged from hardened chrome vanadium steel using a 6-point profile, providing a secure, slip-resistant engagement with fasteners during servicing and maintenance procedures. This socket has been tested to 10,000V, making it suitable for safe working on live circuits of up to 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC in accordance with VDE insulation requirements. That independent testing margin between the working voltage and the test voltage is a fundamental safety characteristic when operating around high-voltage automotive systems. The XP1000® designation identifies this socket as part of the Draper Expert range, manufactured to Draper Expert XP1000® quality standards. The 3/8" square drive is a widely used workshop standard, and the 16mm size addresses common fastener dimensions encountered in hybrid and electric vehicle maintenance. The hardened chrome vanadium steel construction ensures durability under the demanding conditions of professional workshop use.
