Frequently Asked Questions
What is a non-spark chipping hammer used for?
It is used to chip, scrape, and remove rust, marine growth, scale, and old coatings from steel surfaces. It is specially designed to minimize the risk of sparks in explosive atmospheres.
Which parts of a ship require non-sparking tools?
Non-sparking hand tools should be used in areas with flammable gases or vapors, such as cargo tanks, void spaces, engine rooms, and during hot work preparation near fuel lines.
Is the hammer suitable for use in a refinery or offshore platform?
Yes. The head is made from a non-ferrous copper alloy that prevents mechanical spark generation, making it ideal for onshore and offshore hazardous area maintenance.
Can I use it with chisels?
While primarily a chipping hammer, the flat head can be used to strike cold chisels. For best results, use with non-sparking chisels.
