Non-sparking socket for hazardous areas
This 1/2-inch drive SAE socket fits fasteners measuring 1-1/4 inches and is made from aluminium bronze. The six-point design grips flats securely while the unfinished surface preserves the alloy’s non-sparking properties. It meets FM Approved and ASTM A342 standards for use where flammable vapours or dust are present.
Deep engagement under continuous torque
The deep well allows the socket to reach recessed bolts without bottoming out during extended tightening cycles. Because it is not impact rated, the tool is intended for hand-driven or low-speed powered applications where controlled force is applied repeatedly. The non-ferrous material resists galling and maintains dimensional stability throughout prolonged use.
Low heat and silent operation in normal use
Hand operation generates negligible heat and no audible noise beyond normal ratchet clicks. The aluminium bronze construction draws no electrical power and produces no sparks when striking rusted or corroded fasteners. Its non-magnetic nature also prevents attraction of metal debris in sensitive environments.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the aluminium-bronze socket generate during continuous heavy use?
The aluminium-bronze material is non-sparking and non-magnetic, so it produces no frictional heat or hot spots even under sustained torque.
Which 1/2-inch drive tools do I already need to turn this 1-1/4-inch deep socket?
Any standard 1/2-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench will engage the square drive; no special adapter is required.
Will this deep 6-point socket clear the longer bolts on my older SAE equipment?
Yes, the deep-well design provides extra length to reach recessed or extended fasteners on legacy machinery.
