Non Sparking Tools

The only safe way to eliminate fires and explosions in hazardous envirnments is to make sure that NO inflammable materials are present when using metal hand tools. In practice this is rarely possible and therefore plant managers and safety officers insist that SPARK RESISTANT tools are used for low-cost protection.
For metallurgical and technological reasons it is almost possible to manufacture spark resistannt tools to the same hardness etc. as high alloy steel. Frequent re-dressing to remove embedded particles of steel or other substances which could cause sparks is essential. Misuse must be avoided, e.g. extending the handle length of wrenches with piping or using air hammer tools as a crow bar.
All Tristar Non-sparking safety tools in thiscatalogue are manufactured from Copper-Beryllium or Aluminium Bronze. Special precautions are to be taken when resharpening and grinding Copper-Beryllium or Aluminium Bronze. Special precautions are to be taken when resharpening and grinding Copper-Beryllium tools. Directions are available upon request.

TRISTAR Non-Sparking Safety Tools are guarnteed against defects in material and workmanship. Tools which fail because of misue, international or uninternational, or for any reason other than stated above, cannot be replaced free of charge.
