Striking Wrench for Heavy Fasteners
The Ampco Safety Tools WS-1-1/16 is a non-sparking striking wrench built for maintenance crews in hazardous environments. Its aluminium-bronze construction resists corrosion and eliminates ignition risk when struck against metal. The 13/16 in head thickness provides the mass needed to break loose large, seized fasteners without damaging the tool.
Behaviour Under Repeated Impact
The thick head absorbs repeated hammer blows while transferring force directly to the fastener. Aluminium bronze retains its shape under sustained pounding, reducing the mushrooming common with softer alloys. The 7 in overall length gives a controlled swing radius for accurate strikes in confined industrial settings.
13/16 in Head Thickness Decides Fit
The 13/16 in thickness is the critical dimension that determines whether the wrench engages the nut or bolt head securely. If the fastener requires a thinner or thicker wall, this wrench will not seat properly and could round the corners. Verify the exact head thickness your application demands before selecting this tool.
