Non-sparking tools
Wrenches, sockets, pullers and hand tools in copper-beryllium or aluminium-bronze alloy: no spark on impact or on contact with steel. For filling stations, refineries, gas installations and anywhere ATEX applies.

Where non-sparking tools are required
In areas with flammable gases or dust, a standard steel wrench can create a spark. This happens on impact or when it contacts steel. Non-sparking tools are made from copper-beryllium or aluminium-bronze alloys. These alloys prevent spark formation. You use them at petrol stations, refineries and gas installations, in short anywhere ATEX applies.
Which version you choose
You select non-sparking tools per application. For loosening and tightening bolts and nuts, use a wrench or a socket with a hexagon socket. A puller or slide hammer helps remove bearings and gears. Check the size of the socket and the drive, for example 1/2 inch. That ensures the tool fits your material.
Where ordering goes wrong
A common mistake is choosing a standard steel version for an ATEX zone. Always check that the tool is explicitly marked as non-sparking. Size matters too: a socket in the wrong size damages the bolt head. Measure the bolt or nut beforehand and compare with the specifications. This prevents ordering unsuitable tools.
This non-sparking range sits under tools and works best alongside hand tools for everyday jobs, pullers for removing bearings and gears and sockets for connecting your ratchet to the bolt or nut.
