1 2" Drive Non Sparking Bi Hexagon Socket Imperial 1 2" 7 16"

The Facom S.SR 1/2" socket in 7/16" size offers an intermediate dimension frequently specified in automotive, machinery, and equipment maintenance within hazardous environments. This 12-point imperial socket combines spark-free operation with the robust torque capacity of a 1/2" drive system. Constructed from premium Copper-Beryllium alloy, this socket provides essential non-sparking performance for petrochemical installations, mining operations, and pharmaceutical facilities. The anti-magnetic properties make it ideal for work near sensitive instrumentation, electronic control systems, and precision measuring equipment. The 7/16" dimension is commonly found in automotive electrical components, smaller machinery assemblies, and hydraulic fittings. The 12-point bi-hexagonal internal profile reduces the swing arc required to engage fasteners, particularly beneficial when clearance is limited or when working at awkward angles. The multiple contact points also distribute torque forces more evenly, reducing wear on both socket and fastener.

Features and Benefits:

• Non-sparking alloy eliminates ignition risks in volatile atmospheres
• Anti-magnetic characteristics protect sensitive equipment and electronics
• Bi-hexagonal design improves access and reduces fastener damage
• Professional engineering ensures reliable performance under load
