FOREWORD
The American National Standards Committee B107 on Socket Wrenches and Drives was originally under the sponsor- ship of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It was subsequently reorganized as an ASME Standards Committee and its title was changed to Hand Tools and Accessories. In 1996, the Committee’s scope was expanded to include safety considerations.
In 1999, ASME initiated a project to consolidate hand tool standards by category of tool. The initial implementation included distinct standards within a single publication bearing a three-digit number corresponding to the responsible B107 subcommittee. It was intended that subsequent revisions would integrate the component standards resulting in a more traditional document.
The 2008 issue of ASME B107.410 included several standards without replacing some of them. The individual stan- dards remained in effect until this edition of ASME B107.410.
The purpose of ASME B107.410 is to define essential performance and safety requirements specifically applicable to the various tools covered herein. It specifies test methods to evaluate conformance to the defined requirements and indicates limitations of safe use. This Standard supersedes, replaces, and renders obsolete the following standards:
ASME B107.43, Wood-Splitting Wedges
ASME B107.44, Chisels — Glaziers’, Wood, Ripping, Flooring/Electricians’ ASME B107.46, Stud, Screw, and Pipe Extractors
ASME B107.48, Metal Chisels, Punches, and Drift Pins ASME B107.49, Nail Sets
ASME B107.50, Brick Chisels, Brick Sets, and Star Drills ASME B107.52, Nail-Puller Bars and Pry Bars
ASME B107.59, Slugging and Striking Wrenches
This Standard is intended for voluntary use by establishments that use or manufacture the tools covered. It may also be used as a guide by state authorities or other regulatory bodies in the formulation of laws or regulations.
This Standard is also meant to serve as a guide in developing manuals and posters and for training personnel to work safely.
Members of the Hand Tools Institute Striking and Struck Tools Standards Committee, through their knowledge and hard work, have been major contributors to the development of the B107 standards. Their active efforts in the promotion of these standards are acknowledged and appreciated.
ASME B107.410-2018 was approved by the B107 Standards Committee on August 17, 2018, and by the Board on Standards and Testing on November 7, 2018. It was approved as an American National Standard on November 9, 2018. The requirements of this Standard take effect upon its date of issuance.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B107 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions or a case, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to:
Secretary, B107 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Two Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
https://go.asme.org/Inquiry
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued to provide alternative rules when justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request should identify the Standard and the paragraph, figure, or table number(s), and be written as a Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Interpretations. Upon request, the B107 Standards Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of the B107 Standards Committee.
Requests for interpretation should preferably be submitted through the online Interpretation Submittal Form. The form is accessible at https://go.asme.org/InterpretationRequest. Upon submittal of the form, the Inquirer will receive an automatic e-mail confirming receipt.
If the Inquirer is unable to use the online form, he/she may mail the request to the Secretary of the B107 Standards Committee at the above address. The request for an interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further rec- ommended that the Inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:
Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry in one or two words. Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested.
Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. Please provide a condensed and precise question, composed in such a way that a “yes” or “no” reply is acceptable.
Proposed Reply(ies): Provide a proposed reply(ies) in the form of “Yes” or “No,” with explanation as needed. If entering replies to more than one question, please number the questions and replies.
Background Information: Provide the Committee with any background information that will assist the Committee in understanding the inquiry. The Inquirer may also include any plans or drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information.
Requests that are not in the format described above may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
Moreover, ASME does not act as a consultant for specific engineering problems or for the general application or understanding of the Standard requirements. If, based on the inquiry information submitted, it is the opinion of the Committee that the Inquirer should seek assistance, the inquiry will be returned with the recommendation that such assistance be obtained.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B107 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings and/or telephone confer- ences that are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting and/or telephone conference should contact the Secretary of the B107 Standards Committee. Future Committee meeting dates and locations can be found on the Committee Page at https://go.asme.org/B107committee.
