Usage

• Clean the surface of the target nut or bolt of excess grease, mud, or thick debris before clamping the wrench.
• Position the open jaws fully around the flats of the fastener head to ensure complete contact across the surface area.
• Rotate the knurled thumb-screw tightly until the adjustable movable jaw locks firmly against the sides of the fastener.
• Apply steady, balanced physical pressure in the direction of intended rotation—clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen.
• Avoid applying sudden impact blows with hammers or adding auxiliary pipe extensions to the handle to prevent stripping the jaw gear.
