During the assembly and disassembly of threaded tools there is always a risk of injury from either the pipe wrenches slipping or cuts and abrasions from sharp burrs caused by pipe wrench jaws. The known hazard is often identified during pre-job risk assessments but still too many incidents occur.
To help reduce this risk exposure to LiMAR clients and end users a 6 faced “hex” make up / break out feature is standard on all LiMAR tooling. The hex flats are milled to a width that easily accommodates the pipe wrench jaw. Selected components are also QPQ treated to harden the hex faces to prevent any burrs and steel splinters. Overall this simple feature assists in minimising the risk of injury to personnel and greatly improves tool longevity.
