Extra-Long Slim Star Bit Socket Set for EV applications
With the rapid growth of hybrid and BEVs (battery electric vehicles), workshops are under pressure to keep pace with the specialist tooling required to service them safely. Laser Tools has long been at the forefront of this shift, supplying independent garages with the expertise, equipment and training needed to work confidently on high-voltage vehicles. Their latest addition to the insulated tool range — the Insulated Extra Long Slim Star Bit Socket Set (part number 9184) — has been developed specifically to meet the challenges of EV maintenance.
Operating safely on circuits up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC, this 3/8" drive set includes seven fully insulated, slimline, long-reach Star (Torx®) bit sockets. These are designed for use where access is severely restricted, such as when removing fixings on EV battery packs or between closely mounted components. The ultra-slim shank diameters (from 4.0–7.86mm) allow access where standard insulated long bit sockets cannot reach, giving technicians the reach, safety, and accuracy needed when working in tight EV environments.
Key Features:
7-piece set: T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30, T40 — all 3/8" drive, overall length 155mm.
Specially reduced shank diameters: 4.0–7.86mm for maximum access in confined spaces.
Socket bodies manufactured from chrome vanadium steel (50BV30), with bits from S2 steel.
Fully insulated to IEC 60900:2018, certified safe up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC.
Suitable for use with Laser Tools’ fully insulated 3/8" drive ratchet (part number 8414) and insulated click-type torque wrench (part number 8321).
Individual sizes also available (part numbers 8990–8996).
As EV service work becomes a larger part of workshop business, investing in the right insulated tools is not only a safety requirement but also a commercial advantage. The Laser Tools 9184 Star Bit Socket Set offers professional technicians both reassurance and capability — ensuring jobs can be carried out safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
