Are Safety Tools as durable as steel tools?
Our safety tools are made from alloys that are softer than steel. However, our product lines are specifically designed to allow the tools to perform their critical functions (non-sparking or non-magnetic) with minimal failures. Our Safety Tools are manufactured with alloys that provide maximum torque and shear strength plus exceptional wear-resistance. When our tools are used properly for the intended task, normal service wear will occur. Our Safety Tools demonstrate excellent resistance to corrosion in chemical, acidic, alkaline and atmospheric conditions that can compromise the performance of steel or iron-based tools. Our tools are ideal for marine applications where corrosion resistance to saltwater and non-sparking capabilities around explosive vapors on ships are critical considerations.
