The only safe way to eliminate fires and explosions in hazardous environments is to make sure that NO inflammable materials are present when using metal hand tools. This margin could be crucial in protecting personnel and installations from disaster. For metallurgical reasons it is impossible to manufacture spark resistant tools to the same hardness as high alloy steel, and for this reason they must be handled and maintained with special care. Frequent redressing to remove embedded particles of steel or other substances which could cause sparks is essential. Abuse must be avoided, e.g. extending handle length of wrenches with piping or using air hammer tools as a crow bar.
Special precautions are to be taken when re-sharpening and grinding beryllium copper tools.
