What is the storage rail for?

The storage rail is for organizing and storing the sockets, making them easy to carry and access.

Can I use these sockets on my car?

What should I do if a socket breaks?

Immediately stop using the broken socket. Sockets can be replaced. Contact the seller for a replacement. Safety first!

Troubleshooting

Socket won't fit a fastener.

Double-check the socket size to ensure it matches the fastener. Try a slightly larger or smaller socket if needed.

Extractor won't remove a damaged fastener.

Apply penetrating oil to the fastener. Use a hammer to lightly tap the extractor onto the bolt head for a better grip. If the bolt is extremely damaged, consider other extraction methods.

Sockets are rusting.

Clean the rust with a wire brush or rust remover. Apply a thin coat of oil to prevent future rusting. Store the set in a dry place.

Socket slips off the ratchet.

Ensure the socket is securely attached to the ratchet. Check the ratchet's detent ball for wear. Replace the ratchet if the connection is loose.
