Safety Hand Tools

Spark-resistant tools are used to eliminate the chances of accidental fires or explosions in potentially combustible or explosive environments. They resist the sparks that a standard tool could potentially create when striking hard surfaces. The use of spark resistant tools is essential. In many industrial applications such as petroleum and chemical manufacturing, spray booth operations, the marine industry, the mining industry, the paper industries, or any location where flammable vapours or combustible residues are present. Spark-resistant tools must be maintained with special care. Frequent cleaning/re-dressing to remove ferrous particles or contaminants, which may impair the spark-resistant properties, is essential.

Stainless steel tools are highly resistant against rust and corrosion and are protected against extraneous rust which is transferred when using non-stainless steel tools on stainless steel materials. Also, these tools are autoclaveable and totally resistant to surface oxidation in a steamy environment. This characteristic eliminates the possibility of contaminating the atmosphere with fine particulates that are sometimes generated when autoclaving plated carbon steel or chrome-vanadium steel tools. It’s key properties which include a high degree of hardness and robustness reduces tool wear and facilitates high torque transfer. As such, stainless steel hand tools offer a unique combination of attributes that have been considered useful to the medical, biomedical, biotech, pharmaceutical, food, nuclear, marine and other industries concerned with clean room sterility and/or exposure to corrosive environments. Known for our quality and comprehensive range, our stainless steel tools are being used at many facilities around Malaysia today.

Insulated tools are designed to protect you against injury if you make contact with an energized source. Every insulated tool must be marked with the year it was insulated and an official 1,000-volt rating symbol, which ensures you will be protected for live use up to 1,000 VAC or 1,500 VDC. In Europe and Asia, VDE certification is more common and each insulated tool will bear the VDE logo.Insulated tools are important when conducting any work that needs to be completed “hot” or on a live circuit. Insulation tools offer significant protection for situations where it may not always be possible to disconnect the circuit, for example when working on a railway line that needs to remain active. They’re also very useful for unexpected situations when you may not be aware that you are working on a live circuit. Without insulated tools to hand, you could be risking serious injury, liability or even death. Not just any tool can bear the VDE certification mark. All VDE rated tools are put through very demanding tests to ensure the quality, construction, safety and even the ergonomics meet with the protective requirements of the applicable EC Directive.
