Steritool extends product range
US-based Steritool, a supplier of stainless steel tools for critical applications, has continued the expansion of its line of tools designed to meet sterile production needs with the introduction of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) drive stainless steel deep sockets.
Designed for applications that require longer reach and greater internal bolt clearance, as well as for repeated sterilisation through thousands of autoclave cycles, the new six point sockets are available in sizes from 19 mm to 32mm). The sockets are manufactured from 17-4PH stainless steel and machined with the critical environment end-user in mind. As stainless steel is an homogenous material, no chrome plating is required and the risks of particulate generation and contaminants from exposed ferrous surfaces – common with regular industrial carbon steel sockets – are eliminated. Internal surfaces are smooth and flat for ease of cleaning, and sharp edges are eliminated to reduce the risk of glove tearing.
