  • TypeBung Wrenches

  • Corrosion resistant material extends tool life
  • 12 in length provides strong leverage control

Application

The Ampco W-56 is a drum bung and plug wrench built for tightening and loosening closures on drums and containers. Its 12 in. offset handle provides the leverage and clearance needed to reach fittings in confined areas. The tool is intended for maintenance and plant personnel who work with sealed containers on a regular basis.

Environment suitability

The bronze-coloured construction is nonsparking, nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant, making it appropriate for hazardous areas where spark ignition or magnetic interference must be avoided. Workers who require a standard straight-handled wrench or a different drive size should consider other options.

Material composition

The wrench body is made from an aluminium, bronze and nickel alloy designated HAWA, chosen for durability and the safety properties listed above. This specific alloy is the defining specification that determines whether the tool meets your site requirements.

Highlights

  • Offset handle reaches tight drum bungs easily
  • Nonsparking bronze alloy prevents ignition hazards
  • Nonmagnetic construction avoids metal interference
  • Corrosion resistant material extends tool life
  • 12 in length provides strong leverage control

Questions about this item

How do I install the offset bung wrench onto a drum plug, and what step do people often miss?

Engage the wrench jaws squarely on the bung flats, then use the 12 in offset handle to clear the drum sidewall; the step often missed is confirming full jaw contact before applying torque.

What maintenance or replacement will the HAWA bronze wrench need after extended use?

Inspect the jaw faces for rounding or corrosion; the nonsparking alloy resists wear, but replace the tool if the opening no longer grips the bung securely.

What limit appears first when the wrench is used continuously on tight bungs?

The 12 in lever arm multiplies force, so the practical limit is the bung material yielding or the jaw profile slipping before the bronze handle deforms.
