How to use

Select the Proxxon 11 mm socket and attach it securely to a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench. Position the socket squarely over the fastener, apply steady turning force and maintain alignment to avoid slipping. Use appropriate torque settings when tightening fasteners to manufacturer specifications. When removing seized or corroded bolts, apply controlled force and consider penetrating lubricant to reduce the risk of damage.
