Open striking wrench for hazardous areas

The Ampco Safety Tools WSO-15/16 is a 15/16 inch open striking wrench made from aluminium bronze. It is non-sparking, non-magnetic and corrosion resistant for use where flammable vapours, liquids, dust or residue are present. Factory Mutual approved and beryllium free, it suits maintenance crews in refineries, chemical plants and similar hazardous locations.

Fits 15/16 inch fasteners in tight clearances

The wrench has an overall length of 8 inches and a 15 degree head angle with 7/8 inch head thickness. The rounded SAE head engages standard hex fasteners without needing a tether point. Its compact profile lets technicians apply impact force on large bolts where a standard box wrench or socket cannot reach.

Replaces steel striking wrenches in explosive

Steel tools can create ignition sources; this aluminium bronze version removes that risk while resisting corrosion in severe environments. The upgrade is worth it when safety protocols require Factory Mutual approved, non-sparking equipment near MRI suites, clean rooms or any area with combustible residue.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 15-degree offset provide when striking the 15/16 in head in tight spaces?

The 15-degree offset on the 8 in overall length lets the handle clear nearby obstructions while you drive the 7/8 in thick head onto fasteners.

Does the aluminum-bronze alloy stay non-sparking and non-magnetic after hours of continuous hammering?

Yes, the Factory Mutual approved alloy retains its non-sparking, non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant properties throughout extended striking work.

What hammer weight and face diameter match the 7/8 in head thickness for safe striking?

Use a hand sledge with a flat face wide enough to cover the 7/8 in thick head so each blow transfers cleanly without mushrooming the wrench.
