Troubleshooting
Wrench handle does not extend or retract smoothly
Ensure the telescopic sections are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Check that the locking mechanism is disengaging properly.
Socket does not fit securely onto the wheel nut
Verify you are using the correct size socket for the wheel nut. Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the nut and that the nut itself is not damaged or rounded.
Difficulty loosening a very tight wheel nut
Ensure the wrench is extended to its maximum length for best leverage. Apply steady, consistent pressure. If the nut remains seized, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak before attempting to loosen again.
