The text says it is osha compliant and the motor is enclosed. Is it technically explosion proof. Iwant to mount it in the wall of a shop to draw out e

When you put the word explosion in the question you stopped me from any answer. I am not qualified to make that call. There will be no further discussion on this matter. Good luck.

Dear Sonya, Thank you for your question, this is not an explosion proof certified motor, however it is fully enclosed. I hope this helps. Regards, ACER

All electric R/C motors are "waterproof." Or rather, the act of running them in water does not cause failures but if you leave them wet, sitting on a shelf, the metal components will begin to rust and corrode.

Clearly the people who said this IS fireproof did not test it...It's made out of recycled plastic bottles and it burns, self-sustaining, at the temperature of a plastic bottle. This is not safe to use in an engine compartment for any motorized vehicle.

No would be my answer, but please elaborate on "issues" so I can be more specific. I have had this tool for about 6 months, and love it. It drives screws just fine, in and out, and put 1 1/2" x 5/16" lag bolts into 2x material using a socket adapter, no problem. It is possible to break drywall screws, so be careful on the trigger in hard material.

This item can admit sparks, has electric motor, not explosive proof. Not installed yet in shop.

I don't believe the motor will run without the proper assembly of parts. There's a fail-safe switch that's closed when the plastic lid is engaged.

This safe is made of steel without the insolarion I'm gonna say it's not fire proof! It is a very nice though . If it were me and your looking for a fire proof safe I would look at one that is actually fire rated.

Listen to the motor on any vacuum when you block 70% of the inlet. That sound you hear is the motor struggling to maintain it's intended speed against the resistance of the constricted airflow. The motor will draw more amperage and run hotter, but it will continue to run. For a short burst now and then I wouldn't expect any damage, but the longer you run a motor "hot" the shorter the lifespan becomes. A used $50 shop vac from Ebay or Craigs List would be a better tool for your 1.5" outlet.

I'm not sure if the red metal housing that the motor sits in will support welding or not. I mounted my hoist to rafters in my garage ceiling using pre-drilled holes in the red metal housing and running bolts through a double 2x4 that I strung between two rafters. I did have to take out the motor from the red metal housing first and then screw it all together at the same time. A bit extra work, but it works and is secure.

Doubtful, but then if one can believe the info. in the Manual, then in should be close to OSHA specs..I'm not a sound Pro.. But for my use it's acceptable!Raven

As long as the bar from the motor to your wall is sufficient yes there should be no problem.

no these are not sealed motors,the moisture in a crawl space would damage these units

I have been using it for months & haven't had trouble igniting it. I use it to make jewelry. With the tips off its a torch. You may be able to ignite with a lighter or striker, personally I would be afraid it would explode. I probably would get a new one if the auto igniter quit.

Hi, They are not. But almost no safe is designed for that. In case of fire, the safe will be a loss and have to be drille dopen after the fire. However the content in the safe will be "hopefully" safe. But even here I have my doubt in case of Sentry, but luckily no proof yet ...

yes, make sure you vent from side and back. It is important so the motor does not burn out.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

Hi, even though this unit was not designed to be used that way, it passed all the necessary safety tests so we don't see any issue. Thank you so much! South Shore team
