Usage
:User Guidance (How to Use) :
- Select correct socket : Choose the socket whose size exactly matches the nut or bolt head. It should fit snugly with no play, to avoid rounding of edges.
- Attach to your impact wrench or handle : Push the socket onto the ½″ drive anvil of your impact tool until it clicks or seats firmly.
- Operate with care : Use the appropriate torque settings on your impact tool.
Avoid high torque settings at start; approach gradually.
Always keep the socket square on the fastener before applying power, to avoid slipping.
- Use extensions or adapters if needed : If fasteners are recessed, use compatible extension bars or universal joints (if your set or tool supports that) to reach them.
- Reverse / loosen direction : Switch the impact tool to reverse mode to loosen bolts. Ensure the socket is well seated before applying reverse torque.
- Swap sockets carefully : After use, pull the socket off the drive (press release button if your tool has one). Replace with other sizes as needed.
- Don’t exceed ratings : Avoid using the sockets beyond their rated torque or on incorrect drive sizes to prevent damage.
Maintenance Guidance (How to Care & Extend Life) :
- Clean after use : Wipe each socket with a clean cloth to remove grease, oil, dirt, or debris.
- Dry thoroughly : Ensure that sockets are dry before returning to the case. Moisture can lead to rust or corrosion.
- Lubricate occasionally : If your sockets or adapter joints (if any) have moving parts, a light application of machine oil helps maintain smooth operation.
- Inspect for damage : Periodically check for cracks, chips, or rounding in socket mouths. Replace any damaged socket to protect fasteners and your tools.
- Don’t misuse : Never use the socket as a breaker bar or for prying. Avoid side loads (bending forces); sockets are designed for axial torque.
- Store in the case : Always return sockets to their proper slots in the case. This protects edges and prevents loss or collision damage.
- Protect from corrosion : Store in a dry, cool place. Consider using silica gel packs in the case to absorb moisture.
- Avoid excessive impacts beyond rating : Using overly high torque or excessively powerful impact tools frequently can reduce socket life.
