Purpose-built socket
The Ampco 1/2" drive SAE socket fits a 15/16" hex fastener with a 6-point aluminum bronze construction. It is designed for hand use in environments where spark prevention is required. FM approval and ASTM A342 compliance confirm suitability for hazardous-location work. The unfinished surface reflects the base alloy without additional coating.
Capacity and headroom
The 6-point geometry distributes torque across the flat faces of a 15/16" hex to reduce rounding risk. Aluminum bronze provides non-sparking performance but offers lower hardness than steel alloys. The tool is not impact rated, so it must be used with hand ratchets or breaker bars only. Heavy impact or high-torque power tools will exceed its design limits.
Build integration
A 1/2" square drive allows direct attachment to standard ratchets, extensions and torque wrenches of the same drive size. The non-sparking material eliminates ignition risk in flammable atmospheres without requiring separate safety adapters. No impact-rated accessories are compatible. The socket addresses FM-approved and ASTM A342 requirements in a single component.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/2" drive on this 15/16" hex socket fit my existing 1/2" ratchet and breaker bar?
Yes, the socket has a standard 1/2 inch square drive that matches any 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench you already own.
How can I verify the nonsparking aluminium bronze material is correct once I have the socket in hand?
The socket is unfinished aluminium bronze with a distinctive gold-bronze colour and non-magnetic properties; FM Approved and ASTM A342 markings are stamped on the wall for visual confirmation.
Does the package include only the single 15/16" 6-point socket, or are any accessories supplied?
The box contains the single 1/2" drive SAE 15/16" hex 6-point socket; no ratchet, extension, or adaptor is included and must be purchased separately.
