  • Non-sparking aluminium bronze for hazardous areas
  • FM approved and meets ASTM A342 standard
  • 3/4 inch SAE 6-point deep socket
  • 1/2 inch drive fits standard ratchets
  • Impact rated no for hand-tool use only

Non-sparking socket for hazardous areas

The Ampco DW-1/2D3/4 is a 3/4 inch SAE, six-point deep socket made from aluminum bronze. It carries a 1/2 inch drive and meets FM Approved and ASTM A342 standards for non-sparking tools. The unfinished surface is intended for industrial maintenance where ignition risk must be eliminated.

Verify drive size and clearance before ordering

Confirm that your ratchet or breaker bar accepts a 1/2 inch drive and that the 3/4 inch hex fits the fastener you are servicing. The deep profile requires sufficient bolt-thread exposure, so check the stud length on the job. No impact rating is claimed, so do not use this socket with powered impact drivers.

Hand-driven use keeps heat and noise minimal

Under normal hand-tool operation the socket generates negligible heat and no audible noise beyond the ratchet mechanism. Aluminum bronze is softer than steel, so avoid excessive torque that could deform the walls. Power draw is not applicable because the tool is manually operated.

Questions about this item

Does the Ampco DW-1/2D3/4 socket come with any accessories or must the 1/2 in drive ratchet be bought separately?

The listing covers the single 3/4 in SAE 6-point deep socket only; a compatible 1/2 in drive ratchet or breaker bar is not included and must be purchased separately.

Is there more than one version of this Ampco socket so I need to choose a capacity or size option?

No, the product is a single fixed specification — 1/2 in drive, 3/4 in SAE, 6-point, deep, aluminum bronze — with no alternative sizes or capacities to select.

What does the ASTM A342 and FM Approved marking mean for daily use of this nonsparking socket?

ASTM A342 confirms the aluminum bronze alloy composition and mechanical properties, while FM Approved certifies the socket meets Factory Mutual nonsparking requirements for hazardous environments.
