New insulated adaptor delivers safe socket access for EV techs
Tuesday 29 July 2025
Techs working on EVs and hybrids — this is for you. Laser Tools has just launched a new bit of kit that could quickly become a go-to in your toolbox. Have a look at the Non-Conductive Insulated Quick Chuck to 3/8"D Adaptor (part number 9126): a compact but clever solution for safely using insulated sockets with drill drivers and electric screwdrivers when working near live circuits.
This isn’t your average adaptor. Designed with zero metal-to-metal contact between driver and socket, it provides full electrical isolation between the tool and the fastener — critical when you’re working on live systems. That means less risk of accidental shorting and a big tick for safety.
Manufactured to IEC60900 standards, it’s rated safe for use on systems up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC, making it ideal for auto electricians, mechanics, and EV techs dealing with high-voltage components.
- Use with insulated sockets or bit sockets on cordless drill drivers and screwdrivers.
- Made from tough chrome vanadium steel with glass-fibre reinforced nylon outer casing.
- 75mm overall length, with a 40Nm max torque rating.
- Fully compliant with IEC60900 for live-line working.
Whether you’re chasing faults on a hybrid battery system or assembling components on an EV powertrain, this adaptor combines everyday versatility with tough, professional-grade build quality.
