FAQs

What material is the set made from?

The set includes slotted, Phillips, Torx, and hex bit sockets.

What is the range of metric sockets included?

Can this set be used for heavy-duty applications?

Does the ratchet handle have a forward and reverse function?

Yes, the included ratchet handle features a forward and reverse function for easy tightening and loosening.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet handle is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the drive direction switch is fully engaged in either forward or reverse. Clean any debris from the ratcheting mechanism and apply a small amount of lubricating oil if necessary.

Socket or bit not fitting securely

Verify you are using the correct size socket or bit for the fastener. Ensure the drive mechanism on the handle is clean and free of obstructions.

Tool appears to be rusting

This is uncommon with chrome vanadium steel but can occur if exposed to moisture. Clean the affected area with a fine steel wool and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further rust.
