Ampco DW-1/2D1-1/8 tool storage

SKU CH-KBBR-RB7TJ

Aluminium-bronze 6-point deep socket, ½ in drive, FM-approved to ASTM A342 for non-sparking safety

  • FM Approved for hazardous-area safety
  • ASTM A342 aluminium-bronze resists sparking
  • 1/2 in drive fits standard ratchets
  • 6-point deep socket grips flats securely
  • 1-1/8 in SAE size matches large fasteners

1/2 in Drive SAE Socket

The Ampco DW-1/2D1-1/8 is a nonsparking socket designed for professional mechanics and industrial maintenance teams working in hazardous environments. It provides a 1 1/8 inch SAE opening with a 6-point configuration for secure fastener engagement.

FM Approved ASTM A342 Compliance

This socket meets FM Approved standards and ASTM A342 specifications for nonsparking tools. The aluminium bronze construction prevents ignition risks in flammable atmospheres where standard steel tools would create a safety hazard.

Deep Aluminium Bronze Construction

The deep, unfinished aluminium bronze body reaches recessed fasteners while resisting corrosion in harsh chemical settings. It is rated for hand use only and is not impact rated, so it cannot withstand powered impact wrench forces.

Questions about this item

What does the 6-point socket profile do when I put it on a fastener?

The six contact faces grip the flat sides of a 1-1/8 inch SAE nut or bolt head instead of the corners, spreading torque evenly and reducing the chance of rounding.

What does the FM Approved and ASTM A342 listing mean for daily use?

FM Approved confirms the socket meets Factory Mutual non-sparking requirements, and ASTM A342 verifies the aluminium-bronze alloy composition, so the tool is cleared for hazardous-location work.

What clearance does the 1/2 inch drive deep socket need on my ratchet or breaker bar?

It fits any standard 1/2 inch square drive; the deep body provides extra reach for recessed fasteners while the unfinished aluminium-bronze surface resists corrosion.
