Is this tool suitable for all types of sleeve materials?

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is difficult to expand

Ensure adequate Hellerine lubricant is applied to the sleeve and the tool's prongs. Check that the sleeve diameter is within the tool's specified range (1.2mm - 2.0mm).

Tool does not expand evenly

Inspect the three prongs for any damage or debris. Ensure they are clean and aligned properly. If damaged, consider replacing the tool.

Sleeve tears during application

Apply more lubricant to both the sleeve and the tool. Ensure the sleeve is not being forced; allow the tool to expand it naturally. Verify the sleeve material is compatible with the tool's expansion method.
