Troubleshooting
Socket is difficult to remove from the impact wrench.
Ensure the retaining ball in the impact wrench is functioning correctly. If the socket is stuck, use a socket removal tool or gently tap the socket with a soft mallet.
Socket is slipping on the fastener.
Check the socket size. The WallDrive design is intended to prevent slippage, but an incorrect size will not grip properly. Replace worn-out sockets.
Socket is damaged after use.
This may be due to over-torquing. Check the torque rating of the fastener and do not exceed the limits of the socket set. Replace damaged sockets.
