This Loops Non Sparking Lifting Wedge is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working in environments where sparks could be hazardous. Its primary benefit is the enhanced safety it provides due to its non-sparking beryllium copper construction. A potential consideration is its specialized material, which may require specific handling compared to standard steel wedges. Key features include precision casting for accurate operation, a robust 200 x 40 x 40mm size, and a lifetime guarantee for durability.

It is manufactured from beryllium copper, a special alloy that does not generate sparks when struck or rubbed against other materials, unlike standard steel tools. This is crucial for safety in flammable environments.
Its primary use is for separating or lifting objects, especially in environments where the risk of ignition from sparks must be eliminated, such as near fuels or volatile chemicals.
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and workmanship for the lifespan of the product under normal use. It does not cover accidental damage or wear and tear from extreme misuse.
While durable, its strength is optimized for safety and leverage rather than extreme load-bearing. For applications requiring immense tensile strength, heavy-duty steel wedges might be more appropriate, provided sparks are not a concern.
The wedge measures 200mm in length, 40mm in width, and 40mm in height.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the non-sparking properties or finish of the material.
Yes, it can be used in a standard workshop. Its non-sparking feature provides an added layer of safety, and its durable construction makes it suitable for regular use.
Ensure the surface being worked on is clean and free of debris. Check that the wedge is being inserted at the correct angle for optimal leverage.
Discontinue use immediately. Inspect for significant dents, bends, or cracks. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified tool supplier for replacement if the lifetime guarantee applies.
Ensure the wedge is inserted sufficiently into the gap. Use a suitable striking tool (also non-sparking if in a hazardous environment) to drive the wedge, or use a larger hammer for increased leverage.
Setup:
This lifting wedge requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility:
This wedge is designed for general lifting and separation tasks. It is compatible with most standard tools and rigging equipment used for applying leverage. Its non-sparking nature makes it compatible with hazardous environments where standard tools would be unsafe.
