Ampco SS-1/2D30MM 1/2" Drive 30mm 6-Point Hand Socket

Spark-Resistant Socket For Hazardous Areas

The Ampco SS-1/2D30MM is a 1/2 inch drive hand socket made from aluminium bronze. It meets MIL-I-17214 requirements for non-magnetic hand tools and carries Factory Mutual approval for hazardous environments. The nonsparking, corrosion-resistant construction suits maintenance crews in oil, gas, chemical and mining operations where ferrous tools pose an ignition risk.

Single 30mm Hex Opening With Standard Depth

This socket fits a 30mm metric fastener with a six-point hex profile that distributes torque across flats rather than corners. Standard depth provides access to typical bolt threads without the reach of a deep-well design. The aluminium bronze material is softer than steel alloys, so the tool wears faster under high-torque impact use and is not suited for continuous heavy-duty power driving.

Square Drive And Natural Finish For Manual Use

A square 1/2 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, breaker bars and torque wrenches for hand tightening. The natural finish has no coating to chip or contaminate sensitive workpieces. The tool requires a separate accessory for tethering when working at height. Buyers needing magnetic retrieval, impact-rated durability or a full metric set will need additional tools not supplied here.
