How to use

Select the correct metric socket size using the colour-coded marking, fit the socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or machine adapter, and place it over the external hexagon fastener. For machine use ensure proper securing on the drive and observe machine speed limits and safety procedures. For manual operation, hold the slip-proof surface to maintain grip and use the ball stop groove to help retain the socket on the fastener during loosening or tightening.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate torque settings for the fastener and avoid excessive impact forces unless the socket and tool are rated for impact drives. After use, clean off debris and lightly oil to maintain the dull-chromed surface and prevent corrosion.
