Bucket & Pail Wrenches and Sockets
Pail Bung Wrenches, Torque Wrenches, and Sockets: Know the Specifics.
- What size is your container?
- What size and type of plug does it have?
- What is the container made of?
- What is inside? Is it hazardous – explosive, flammable, or combustible? You'll need spark resistant or non-sparking sockets for your plug wrench or torque wrench. Pair it with a spark resistant wrench for even more safety.
BASCO has endless socket and wrench varieties to remove or tighten bucket lids: spark resistant bronze, non-sparking aluminum, hex head or round head, drillable 2 inch and ¾ inch steel or plastic bung wrench, all-in-one, and glass-filled nylon. Ensure pail screw caps are properly tightened before shipping hazardous and flammable products with the use of torque wrenches.
Wondering how to use a torque wrench on your container bungs? To use a torque wrench, simply be sure to follow the manufacturer’s closing instructions for your specific container that is being sealed. They mention the specific torque setting that you should use. This furthermore keeps you in compliance with the container manufacturer’s torque requirements. For added convenience, most preset torque wrench varieties have a breakaway, or "clicker" sound and feel that signals when a torque is properly reached so that you don't overset it.
