Troubleshooting

Bit won't fit securely into socket wrench.

Ensure you are using a standard 1/2" square drive socket wrench. Verify that no debris is obstructing the socket wrench drive or the bit shank.

Bit appears to be stripping under load.

Confirm that the bit size precisely matches the fastener. Avoid excessive force if the fastener is excessively tight; consider using a penetrating oil or impact wrench with appropriate settings.

Bit is difficult to remove from fastener.

Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener head. Gently try to wiggle the wrench while applying steady pressure. Check for any damage to the bit or fastener.
