Troubleshooting
Socket does not grip the handle securely
Ensure the socket is fully inserted into the drive mechanism. Check the socket and handle drive for any debris or damage. Try a different compatible socket.
Handle feels slippery during use
Wipe the handle with a clean, dry cloth to remove any grease or oil. Ensure your hands are also clean and dry.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque
Confirm you are using the correct socket for the task. Ensure the socket is properly seated. For extremely tight components, consider using a longer-handled socket driver or a breaker bar if compatible and necessary, always applying force smoothly.
