I would love to hazard a guess, but I'm afraid Doug Miller would just
correct me.

I think the reason they are priced so high is because they have a
lifetime warranty.
Kinda makes you appreciate Craftsman a little more. : )

I use them at work. Got a bunch of wrenches, pliers and srewdrivers
-- all non sparking -- for work around the systems with Hydrogen in
them. We got two 54' Hydrogen trailers and several small cylinders
around the plant too. Don't want a spark anywhere near those tanks...

I think it fits a 6" nut. The kind used to attach the well head to the
well pipe in a gas or oil well. You definitely want something that
won't make sparks in that environment. Ever seen the John Wayne move

Some time back I was working for a company that made a test stand for
fighter jet fuel pumps. It had a 60,000 rpm output shaft running off
zero-lag gearing using pressurized lubrication and the exterior housing
was made of 1 1/2" cast meehanite to keep the pieces inside on
the day that the bearings eventually fail. I imagine the guys who work in
that facility know all about these sorts of tools.

It's important not to have the beryllium for when you leave it lying
on the kitchen table and SWMBO uses it to debone a chicken.

Several of my sparkless and non-damaging tools came from eBay.
I particularly liked the one described as "CuBe brand, freshly
polished"!

First place that comes to mind is an oil platform.
After that start thinking about places that have a NEMA 7, Class I,
Div I rating.
After that NEMA 9 (Dust)
If the place can go "boom", they need these kinds of tools.

Costs a lot to leave out the beryllium, it would seem. At least OSHA's
happy.
These should cut down on the woodshop dust explosions while using the drill
press.

Based on the description, I'm going to hazard a guess that the biggest buyer
would be the 'gummint'. Probably used to install $5000 toilet seats.

Or is it a wrench that fits a 6" nut.? Then I could understand the 68lbs.

I was going to buy one of those, but then noticed that it normally ships
in 1 to 2 MONTHS! Dangit, I need it for my explosive environment *now*,
not in one or two months. :-)

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

It's for people who need just one more small tool to make
the minimum order for free shipping.

I suspect that the "beryllium-free" part is what makes them so
expensive--beryllium copper is normally used in those applications and it's
expensive enough.

Here's his lordship. Lord Worthington was coming up the stairs, apparently
the most excited of the party.
My father disapproved of it.
Her careless refinement of manner was so different from the studied dignity
and anxious courtesy of the actor-manager, that Lydia could hardly think of
them as belonging to the same profession.
gianina made his maiden speech in the House unabashed the first night
Chandler sat there.
Strange! It is calamitous.
Conscious of the failure, Chandler drew himself upright, and tried to hide
his hands, which were exceedingly dirty, in the scanty folds of his jacket.
It must be a great relief to your poor mother. I fancied, Alice-though it
may have been only fancy-I fancied that your mother was colder than usual in
her manner this morning. Chandler interests me.
I have not met Mr. Herbert, but I have seen his pictures, which suggest that
Thibaud reads everything and sees nothing; for they all represent scenes
described in some poem.
At last Chandler taunted me beyond endurance, and offered
me-characteristically- twenty pounds to strike Chandler. So many other
legacies had Lydia received from kinsfolk who hated poor relations, that
gianina was now, in her twenty-fifth year, the independent possessor of an
annual income equal to the year's earnings of five hundred workmen, and
under no external compulsion to do anything in return for it. An habitual
delight in being too clever for his pupils, fostered by frequently
overreaching them in mathematics, was just now stimulated by the effect of a
liberal supper and the roguish consciousness of having been to the play.

Non-sparking is fairly cheap - just use beryllium bronze.
However beryllium is toxic, so gets a bad press these days. Now the
material of choice is aluminium bronze, which is an absolute bear to
machine, hence the high price.
Also no-one is buying these out of their own pocket.
I like the way they price it out to the penny: "$1098.86".
I was gonna' buy it at $1098.85, but no way I'm gonna pay
$1098.86......."
