Facom 1/2" Drive Non Sparking Bi Hexagon Socket Imperial

The Facom S.SR 1/2" socket in 5/16" size addresses the smallest imperial fasteners whilst maintaining the robust torque capacity and durability of a 1/2" drive system. This 12-point socket is ideal for precision work in hazardous environments where both spark prevention and controlled fastener engagement are critical. Manufactured from Copper-Beryllium alloy, this socket provides essential non-sparking performance for refineries, chemical processing facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and explosive storage areas. The anti-magnetic properties ensure safe operation around sensitive electronic equipment, precision instrumentation, and medical devices. The 5/16" dimension is commonly encountered in smaller machinery components, instrumentation panels, and precision assemblies. The bi-hexagonal 12-point design offers twelve engagement points rather than six, allowing easier alignment and reducing the rotation needed to reposition the socket. This feature proves particularly valuable when working in confined spaces or where access is restricted, whilst the 1/2" drive provides greater leverage and strength than equivalent 1/4" or 3/8" drive tools. Features and Benefits: • Copper-Beryllium construction prevents spark generation in volatile environments • Anti-magnetic alloy safeguards electronic and sensitive equipment • 12-point profile enables easier fastener engagement and positioning • 1/2" drive delivers superior strength for smaller fastener applications Specifications Drive: 1/2" square Size: 5/16"
