FAQs

What materials are these socket bits made from?

Troubleshooting

Socket bit appears to be slipping on fastener

Ensure the correct size bit is fully seated in the fastener. Check the fastener head for damage or wear. Verify that the socket bit is not damaged or worn.

Bit is difficult to attach to the drive tool

Confirm you are using a 1/2" Sq drive tool. Ensure the drive socket on the tool is clean and free from debris. Check the square drive end of the bit for damage.

Corrosion visible on the socket bit

Clean the affected area with a wire brush if necessary. Apply a light coating of oil to protect the surface and prevent further corrosion. Store in a dry place.

Reduced performance when used with impact tool

Ensure the impact tool has adequate power and is functioning correctly. Check that the socket bit is fully engaged with the fastener and not worn. Clean the bit and drive connection.
