Troubleshooting
Bit does not fit impact wrench
Verify that your impact wrench has a 1/2" square drive. Ensure the bit is not obstructed and is correctly aligned with the wrench's anvil.
Difficulty engaging with fastener head
Confirm that the fastener is indeed a T50 TX-STAR type. Ensure the bit is fully seated on the fastener head and that the impact wrench is operating correctly.
Premature wear or damage
Ensure you are using the bit with an appropriate impact wrench and only on T50 TX-STAR fasteners. Avoid using excessive force or improper angles, which can lead to premature wear.
Corrosion developing on the surface
Clean the bit thoroughly and dry it completely. Apply a light coating of rust-inhibiting oil and store in a dry place. The black phosphate finish provides protection but requires proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Draper TX-STAR Impact Socket Bit, simply attach it to the square drive of your 1/2" electric or pneumatic impact wrench. Ensure the bit is fully seated on the anvil of the wrench. For added security, use a retaining pin and ring compatible with the bit's groove and hole.
