How to use

Select the 16 mm socket and attach it securely to a 1/2" drive impact wrench or driver. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. When loosening or tightening, apply steady trigger control and avoid side loading that may damage the socket or fastener. After use, inspect the socket for wear or cracks and store it in a suitable tool organizer to prevent damage and corrosion.

Usage recommendations
