Copper or brass tools are safe in explosive environments of risk groups I and IIA. It is safe to work with them in these environments. EGA Master has available a complete range of copper and brass hammers and mallets made in both materials. It is convenient to know that copper or brass tools can never be considered as alternatives to aluminum-bronze or copper-beryllium alloy tools, because their hardness is too low for most applications. There is the temptation to choose copper or brass tools due to their lower cost compared to aluminum-bronze or copper-beryllium ones. This choice is not only risky in itself, but in the short/ mid term it will be necessary to replace them for new ones for the wearing out suffered due to their low hardness. For this reason, copper or brass tools should only be used in those jobs that have to be made in risky environments (I and IIA), if the same job would be made with copper or brass tools in a nonrisky environment. In case you would use a steel tool in a non-risky environment, than you should choose for your safety and profitability tools made in aluminum-bronze or copper-beryllium alloys to make the same jobe in a risky environment. Never a copper or brass tool.
