How should I clean and store the tool?

Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit strut nut properly.
Verify that your vehicle is listed within the compatible makes (VAG, BMW, Citroen, Ford) and consult your manufacturer's specifications. The strut nut size may vary. Ensure you are using the correct 22mm spanner or socket with the tool.
Difficulty removing or installing strut nut.
Ensure the correct 22mm spanner or socket is firmly attached to both the tool and the strut nut. Apply steady, even pressure. If seized, a penetrating lubricant may be cautiously applied to the threads, allowing it to work before re-attempting removal.

Discontinue use immediately and inspect the tool for cracks, excessive wear, or deformation. Replace the tool if any significant damage is found to prevent potential injury or further damage to vehicle components.
