Troubleshooting

Ratchet not engaging or slipping

Ensure the direction switch is fully in the desired position (clockwise/counter-clockwise). Check for debris in the ratchet mechanism and clean if necessary. If slipping persists, the internal mechanism may need professional servicing or replacement under warranty.

Socket not fitting securely onto a bolt head

Verify that you are using the correct size socket for the bolt. Ensure the bolt head is not stripped or damaged. Clean both the socket interior and the bolt head.

Tools showing signs of rust

Clean the rusted area with a soft wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Apply a light coating of lubricating oil and wipe off any excess. Store tools in a dry environment and ensure they are thoroughly dried after cleaning.

Storage case latches are difficult to close

Ensure tools are properly seated within their designated compartments and not obstructing the case closure. Check for any debris around the latches or case edges.
