3/32 Inch SAE Hex Key for Non-Sparking Applications

This Ampco WH-3/32 hex key is manufactured from beryllium copper alloy with a bronze finish. It provides non-sparking and non-magnetic performance for use in hazardous environments. The tool fits SAE 3/32 inch fasteners and measures 1 7/8 inches on the long arm and 3/4 inch on the short arm. It is corrosion resistant and supplied as a new hand tool.

Suited for Maintenance in Explosive Atmospheres

Technicians working near flammable vapours, dust or liquids benefit from the non-sparking construction. The non-magnetic property prevents interference with sensitive instruments or magnetic fields. Buyers requiring insulated handles for live electrical work should select a different tool, as this model is not insulated. Users needing tether attachment points for drop prevention must also look elsewhere.

Bronze Finish Indicates Beryllium Copper Alloy

The bronze colour identifies the non-ferrous material that delivers the non-sparking and non-magnetic characteristics. Corrosion resistance extends service life in humid or chemically exposed settings. The absence of tether readiness means a lanyard cannot be secured directly to the key. California Proposition 65 information accompanies the product regarding reproductive harm chemicals.

Questions about this item

What size hex fastener does the 3/32-inch tip on this Ampco hex key fit?

The 3/32-inch tip is designed for SAE hex fasteners of that exact size, providing a precise fit for 3/32-inch socket head cap screws and set screws.

Will the bronze alloy of this non-sparking hex key damage or gall older steel fasteners during removal?

The beryllium copper construction is softer than hardened steel, reducing the risk of damaging fastener heads while still delivering sufficient torque for loosening corroded or seized bolts.

How can I verify the non-sparking and non-magnetic properties are effective after I start using the tool?

Test by striking the key lightly against steel — no visible sparks should appear — and confirm it does not attract iron filings or small steel components during use.
