Troubleshooting
Tools feel stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot points of pliers and hinges. Work the tool back and forth to distribute the oil.
Comfort grip handle is dirty or greasy
Wipe the handle with a damp cloth. For stubborn grease, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Tools show signs of rust
Gently scrub the rusted areas with fine-grade steel wool. Clean the tool and apply a thin layer of lubricating oil to prevent further rust.
Foam tray is damaged or worn
The foam tray is designed for organization. If it becomes too worn, consider purchasing a replacement foam insert or a separate toolbox organizer.
