Are Ampco Safety Tools really “non-sparking”?
Ampco Safety Tools will not create a spark with a high enough heat level to ignite Carbon Disulfide, which has the lowest ignition point of any substance known to man. The most exact description of the sparking characteristics of Ampco Safety Tools as per Factory Mutual Research Corporation is “spark reduced”. The only spark that can be emitted by an Ampco Safety Tool is one known as a “cold spark”. A “cold spark” produced by an Ampco Safety Tool has a low enough heat level that it will not even ignite Carbon Disulfide as mentioned above.
