Wattmaster | WATVDE38SWS-16 Insulated Socket Wrench Set 3/8in Drive | 16-Piece 1000V
The Wattmaster WATVDE38SWS-16 is a 16-piece insulated socket wrench set with a 3/8 inch drive, rated to 1000V for work on and around electrical equipment. The set holds a ratchet, a T-handle, two extension bars, eight metric sockets, and four hex bit sockets in a carry case. The WATVDE38SWS-16 suits switchboard installation and equipment maintenance where insulated hand tools are required.
Working on or near energised equipment calls for hand tools that reduce the risk of a shock or a phase-to-phase fault. The Wattmaster WATVDE38SWS-16 provides a 1000V-insulated socket set in a single case, keeping the required sizes available at the board. Each socket is individually labelled, which accelerates size selection during close, methodical work. The set covers the common metric and hex sizes encountered on switchgear and equipment terminals.
A boxed insulated set spares an electrician from assembling loose sockets and searching for the correct size on the job. The WATVDE38SWS-16 uses a quick-release ratchet for rapid socket changes and cushion grip handles for control during intricate board work. All 16 pieces store in a sturdy carry case, so the kit travels between jobs without loose parts. The 3/8 inch drive matches common socket and accessory sizes for switchboard fastening.

Where to use
- Switchboard installation — the WATVDE38SWS-16 drives terminal and busbar fasteners during board assembly.

The Wattmaster WATVDE38SWS-16 does not remove the need for safe isolation, testing, and PPE; the insulation is a barrier, not a licence to work live. The set covers 8mm to 22mm metric and 4mm to 8mm hex sizes, so fasteners outside those ranges need other tools. Inspect insulated tools before use and retire any with damaged insulation.
