Non-sparking socket for hazardous areas

This Ampco SS-1/2D1-1/4 hand socket is built for maintenance crews working where flammable vapours or dust make standard steel tools a risk. The aluminium-bronze alloy eliminates sparking during fastener work, while the 1/2 inch square drive fits common ratchets and breaker bars used in industrial plants and refineries.

1-1/4 inch SAE size with six-point grip

The six-point opening contacts the flat sides of a 1-1/4 inch hex fastener, spreading torque evenly and reducing the chance of rounding corners. It handles typical bolting tasks on flanges, valves and structural steel, but the material is not impact rated so it must not be used with powered impact guns or hammer strikes.

FM Approved aluminium bronze, unfinished finish

The socket meets FM Approved and ASTM A342 requirements for non-sparking performance, giving safety officers a documented standard to reference. The unfinished surface resists peeling in chemical environments and allows easy visual inspection for wear or contamination before each use.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in drive fit my existing ratchet and breaker bar?

Yes, the 1/2 in square drive is the industry standard size and will work with any 1/2 in ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench you already own.

How can I confirm the socket is the correct 1-1/4 in SAE size after opening the box?

The size 1 1/4 in is stamped on the socket wall; verify the marking matches your fastener before use.

Does the package include any extensions or adapters, or just the socket?

Only the single 6-point socket is supplied; extensions, adapters or a ratchet must be purchased separately.
