Ampco WH-7/32 SAE Hex Key

The Ampco WH-7/32 is a double-ended hex key with a 7/32 inch tip size. It is manufactured from non-sparking and non-magnetic materials for use in hazardous environments. The tool features a long arm measuring 3 1/8 inches and a short arm of 1 1/16 inches. It is supplied new with a plain, unfinished surface.

Suited for maintenance in explosive atmospheres

Mechanics working in oil, gas or chemical facilities where spark risk must be eliminated will find this key appropriate. The corrosion-resistant construction supports longevity in harsh conditions. Buyers who require a tether attachment point for drop-prevention systems should look at alternatives. The lack of insulation also makes it unsuitable for live electrical work.

7/32 inch tip size determines fit

This single dimension dictates whether the key engages the intended fastener correctly. An incorrect size will round the socket or slip under load. Verify the fastener specification before purchase. No other measurement in the data changes this requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 7/32" hex tips fit the same SAE fasteners I already use with my older hex keys?

Yes, the 7/32" SAE tip size matches the same standard fasteners, so it works with the bolts and set screws you already service.

How can I confirm the non-sparking and non-magnetic properties are active after I start using the key?

The key is made from a non-sparking, non-magnetic alloy; you can verify by checking that it does not attract a magnet and produces no visible sparks when struck against steel.

Does the package include both the long and short arm hex keys, or do I need to buy the second tip separately?

The single key has two tips — a long arm of 3 1/8 in and a short arm of 1 1/16 in — so no separate purchase is required.
