Can I use this set for heavy-duty applications?

While the set is durable, it may not be suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications. Consider the torque requirements of the task.

Troubleshooting

Socket doesn't fit the fastener.

Check the socket size against the fastener size. Ensure you are using the correct metric measurement (mm).

Socket slips or strips the fastener.

Make sure the socket is fully engaged on the fastener. Use the correct socket type (e.g., 6-point) and avoid applying excessive force.

Ensure the release button on the ratchet is pressed. If the socket is stuck, try applying penetrating oil.
