SubscribeGlobal CBRNE specialist Allen-Vanguard is now offering an extensive range of non-magnetic tools, with certified kits for use in explosives ordnance disposal (EOD) and uncertified kits intended for a variety of sectors such as fire, energy, mining, marine and medical.
The kits are manufactured from alloys, making them non-magnetic, non-sparking and non-corrosive. Various items are available in both the uncertified and certified series, including wrenches, screw-drivers, pliers and hammers. Specially designed tools are available for EOD use.
All tools in the certified series are individually certified to NATO STANAG 2897 EOD Annex C and have been developed specifically to meet the demands of NATO EOD units. They enable bomb disposal technicians to tackle both older unexploded ordnance (UXO) and more modern weapons and devices that pose a threat of external hazards or explosion.
Additional tools can be purchased to enhance the certified series, from spanner/wrench sets, to excavation kits.
The uncertified non-magnetic tool kits have been designed for situations involving hazardous environments where flammable vapours or combustible residues are present. The tools help users to prevent fires and explosions that could be caused by mechanical sparks often produced when regular tools are used. All uncertified kits comply with approved requirements and safety standards.
“We now provide a more comprehensive range of non-magnetic and non-sparking tools than ever before,” commented Roy Peers-Smith, president and chief executive officer at Allen-Vanguard. “The certified kits are vital for any EOD technician, while the uncertified tools can help reduce risk in other sectors.”
