Key specifications

How to use

Select a compatible hand-operated ratchet or extension with the matching square drive size. Attach the socket to the square drive until the ball locking device engages to secure the socket. Use the ratchet or extension to apply torque as required, avoiding excessive force beyond hand-tool limits. After use, clean off grime and store the socket in a dry tool organizer to maintain the chrome finish.

Recommendations

Use with hand-operated tools only; do not use the socket on impact wrenches unless it is explicitly rated for impact use. Regularly inspect the ball locking mechanism and the socket bore for wear or damage, and replace if deformation or excessive wear is found. Keep the chrome surface clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion during storage.
