Troubleshooting

Wrench slips on fitting

Ensure the correct size socket is fully engaged with the fitting. Check for any debris or damage on the fitting or the inside of the wrench socket.

Difficulty turning a tight fitting

Apply steady, firm pressure. If resistance is extreme, ensure no obstructions are present. For stubborn fittings, a penetrating oil may be applied (allow time to work) before attempting removal again.

Rust or corrosion appearing on the finish

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a light coating of oil to protect the surface. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
