Ampco H-72FG Non-Sparking Sledgehammer 10 lb 33 in

Non-Sparking Sledgehammer for Hazardous Areas

The Ampco H-72FG is a non-sparking sledgehammer built for environments where flammable vapours, dust or residues make standard steel tools a fire risk. Its head is cast from high-strength nickel aluminium bronze, a material that will not produce ignition sparks on impact. A black and yellow fiberglass handle provides a non-slip ribbed grip and includes overstrike protection to reduce shock if a blow misses the target.

Suited for Maintenance Crews.

This hammer is intended for operators in refineries, chemical plants, mines or grain facilities who must drive stakes, break concrete or free seized components without creating a spark. The 10 lb head weight and 33 in overall length require two-handed control and enough clearance for a full swing. Workers who need a lighter tool for confined spaces, a dead-blow effect to limit rebound, or a tether-ready handle for height safety should look at other models.

Aluminium Bronze Head Eliminates Spark Risk

The single specification that decides suitability is the head material: high-strength nickel aluminium bronze. This alloy is non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant and rated non-sparking, making the hammer compliant for use in classified hazardous locations where a single steel-on-steel strike could cause an explosion. If the job site has no spark hazard, a conventional steel sledgehammer will be more economical.
