Nonsparking SAE Socket Set
The Ampco W-290 provides nine 1/2 inch drive sockets made from aluminum bronze for environments where sparking tools create a hazard. Six-point openings cover 1/2 in, 11/16 in, 7/8 in, 1 1/16 in and 1 1/4 in SAE sizes. The set is designed for hand-driven use in standard maintenance tasks.
Verify Drive Size And Socket Style
Confirm that your ratchet or breaker bar uses a 1/2 inch square drive before ordering. The sockets are standard depth six-point only; no deep or flex sockets are included. Ensure the SAE sizes listed match the fasteners you service, as metric equivalents are not supplied.
Hand-Driven Durability Under Load
Because the set is not impact rated, sustained torque should be applied manually rather than with powered impact tools. Aluminum bronze resists deformation during repeated hand tightening, but the material is softer than steel and will wear faster under high-cycle power use. Plan for hand operation to maintain socket integrity.
