 FOREWORD

The American National Standards Committee B107, Socket Wrenches and Drives, under sponsorship of The American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), was reorganized on June 28, 1967, as an ASME Standards Committee and its title
was changed to Hand Tools and Accessories. In 1996 its 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. Subsequent revisions are intended to integrate the component standards, resulting in a more traditional
document. To maintain continuity within the user community, the former component standard numbers are renamed as
categories in the consolidated standard, and designations are provided in Nonmandatory Appendix A.
The purposes of this Standard are to define dimensional, performance, and safety requirements specifically applicable
to socket wrenches, handles, and attachments for hand socket wrenches; to specify test methods to evaluate performance
relating to the defined requirements; and to indicate limitations of safe use.
This Standard may be used as a guide by state authorities or other regulatory bodies in the formulation of laws or
regulations. It is also intended for voluntary use by establishments that use or manufacture the tools covered.
The 2012 edition of this Standard superseded ASME B107.1-2002, Socket Wrenches, Hand (Inch Series); ASME B107.2,
Socket Wrenches, Extensions, Adaptors, and Universal Joints, Power Drive (Impact) (Inch Series); ASME B107.5M, Socket
Wrenches, Hand (Metric Series); ASME B107.10, Handles and Attachments for Hand Socket Wrenches; ASME B107.12,
Nutdrivers; ASME B107.33M, Socket Wrenches, Impact (Metric Series); and ASME B107.34, Socket Wrenches for Spark
Plugs. Socket wrenches previously described in ASME B107.5M were included in Category 1. Socket wrenches and
attachments previously described in ASME B107.33M were included in Category 2.
The 2012 edition completed the integration of the component standards into a single document. Principal changes in
that edition were increased proof load values for ratchet handles and attachments, and the addition of length classes.
Members of the Hand Tools Institute Wrench Standards Committee, through their knowledge and hard work, have been
major contributors to the development of the B107 wrench standards. Their active efforts in the promotion of these
standards are acknowledged and appreciated.
The format of this Standard is in accordance with The ASME Codes & Standards Writing Guide 2000. References to
tables in U.S. Customary units and tables in SI units are in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 2013,
Section VIII, Division 1, Appendix GG-2(b): “The table designation (e.g., table number) is the same for both the U.S.
Customary and SI tables, with the addition of suffix ‘M’ to the designator for the SI table, if a separate table is provided.
For some small tables, where interpolation is not required, SI units are placed in parentheses after the U.S. Customary
unit.” In general, separate SI tables are provided when product nominal sizes are in SI units.
ASME B107.110-2019 was approved by the B107 Standards Committee on April 5, 2019, and by the Board on Standards
and Testing on August 19, 2019. It was approved as an American National Standard on August 29, 2019.

 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
http://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 http://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.

ix
 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 http://go.asme.org/B107committee.
