Product Information

Full details

This ACDelco Tools G12 Series Combo Kit is designed for mechanics, construction professionals, and DIY enthusiasts who need efficient and compact tools for bolt removal and assembly. Its key benefit is providing two versatile cordless ratchet wrenches with a shared battery system, offering convenience and power in tight spaces. A potential caveat is that the maximum torque may not be sufficient for heavily seized bolts, requiring manual intervention.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum torque for each wrench?

The 3/8" extended ratchet wrench has a maximum torque of 52 Nm (approx. 40 ft-lbs), and the 1/4" ratchet wrench has a maximum torque of 40 Nm (approx. 30 ft-lbs).

Can I use other brands' 12V batteries with this kit?

This kit is designed specifically for the ACDelco G12 Series battery platform. Using batteries from other brands may not be compatible and could damage the tools or battery.

How long does the battery typically last on a full charge?

Battery life varies depending on the task and intensity of use. For intermittent use, a full charge can last for extended periods. For continuous heavy use, additional batteries may be beneficial.

What type of sockets should I use with these wrenches?

You should use standard 1/4" or 3/8" drive sockets compatible with the respective ratchet wrench size.

Is the extended head on the 3/8" wrench removable?

The 6" extended neck on the 3/8" ratchet wrench is an integrated part of the tool's design for accessing tight spaces and is not designed to be removed.

What is the warranty period for this kit?

Please refer to the product documentation or ACDelco Tools official website for current warranty information, as it can vary by region and retailer.

Can these wrenches be used for continuous impact driving?

These are designed as ratchet wrenches for controlled torque application and bolt removal/installation, not for continuous high-impact use like an impact wrench.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not power on.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the tool. Check if the safety lock switch is engaged; disengage it to allow operation.

Reduced power or slow operation.

The battery may be low on charge; recharge it fully. Clean the battery contacts and tool terminals. Ensure the socket is properly seated on the drive.

Ratchet head making unusual noise.

Check for any obstructions or debris within the ratchet mechanism. If the noise persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.

LED light not working.

Check battery charge. If the battery is charged and the LED still does not illuminate, there may be an internal issue; contact support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 12V Li-ion battery is fully charged using the provided G12 Series Charger before first use.
  2. Slide the charged battery onto the base of either the 3/8" or 1/4" ratchet wrench until it clicks into place.
  3. Select the appropriate socket for the fastener you are working with and attach it to the drive of the chosen ratchet wrench.

Compatibility:

  • The G12 Series Battery Pack is compatible with all tools within the ACDelco G12 Compact Series line.
  • Uses standard 1/4" and 3/8" square drive sockets.

Care:

  • Keep the tool and battery clean and dry. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary; do not use solvents.
  • Store the tool, battery, and charger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Periodically check the battery contacts for dirt or debris and clean them gently.
  • Avoid over-tightening fasteners beyond the tool's rated torque to prevent damage to the tool or fastener.
