Insulated Socket 21mm 1/2in Drive VDE Chrome Vanadium

A 21mm VDE insulated socket with a 1/2in drive, made from chrome vanadium steel for controlled fastening work where insulated hand tools are required. Used where access to electrical panels and switchgear calls for the correct socket size with added insulation on the tool.

Commonly used for panel work, electrical installation tasks, maintenance jobs and servicing where 21mm fixings need to be tightened or removed safely with a compatible 1/2in drive ratchet or wrench. Suitable for electricians, maintenance engineers and trade users working on switchgear, control cabinets and similar equipment, as well as anyone carrying out repair or replacement work where insulated tooling is specified.

The 21mm size gives clear fitment for matching fasteners, while the 1/2in drive suits standard hand tools already found in many tool kits and service cases. Chrome vanadium steel provides the base strength expected from a workshop socket, and the insulated outer helps make it more suitable for electrical panel tasks than a standard non-insulated socket. For repeated servicing work, having the correct insulated size close to hand helps avoid unnecessary switching between tools and keeps routine jobs more straightforward.
