What size sockets can be used with this tool?
This tool is designed for use with 1/2" square drive sockets.
How do I maintain the chrome finish?
Wipe the tool clean with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit securely onto the drive.
Ensure you are using a 1/2" square drive socket. Check the socket for damage or debris that may be preventing a proper fit. Try a different socket if necessary.
Handle feels slippery.
Wipe the knurled handle with a dry cloth to remove any grease or oil. For persistent slipperiness, consider using work gloves with good grip.
Tool shows signs of rust.
Light rust can typically be removed with a fine-grade steel wool or a rust remover. Ensure the tool is thoroughly dried and apply a light coat of oil for protection before storing.
Difficulty turning a stubborn fastener.
This tool is designed for speed. For extremely tight or seized fasteners, a dedicated breaker bar or impact wrench may provide more torque. Ensure the fastener is properly seated in the socket before applying force.
