Ampco WH-3/8 SAE Hex Key

The Ampco WH-3/8 SAE Plain Hex Key is a non-sparking, non-magnetic hand tool designed for maintenance in hazardous environments. Its corrosion-resistant, unfinished finish suits industrial safety requirements. This hex key serves technicians who need a 3/8 inch tip for SAE fasteners where spark or magnetic interference must be avoided.

3/8 inch tip with short-arm reach

The key provides a 3/8 inch hex tip on both ends with a long arm of 4 5/16 inches and a short arm of 1 3/4 inches. The short-arm length family gives leverage in confined spaces but limits torque on tightly seized bolts. Users needing greater reach or higher torque should consider a longer-arm hex key for those tasks.

Non-sparking alloy for safe handling

The Ampco safety-tool alloy eliminates spark generation and magnetic attraction during use, reducing ignition risk in flammable atmospheres. Corrosion resistance extends service life in damp or chemical-exposed settings. The tool is not insulated, so it offers no protection against electrical contact.

Questions about this item

Will the 3/8 in tip on this Ampco hex key fit the SAE fasteners on my older equipment?

Yes, the 3/8 in tip is an SAE size and matches standard SAE hex fasteners found on older machinery.

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

The tool is made from Ampco's non-sparking, non-magnetic alloy; these properties are inherent to the material and do not require activation or testing.

Does the box include any tether attachment or insulated grip, or must I buy those separately?

The hex key is supplied as a plain, unfinished tool with no tether point or insulation; both would need to be sourced separately if required.
