How should I clean and maintain the hook set?

Troubleshooting

Hook tip is bent or damaged

Cease using the affected tool immediately. Small hooks are not designed for excessive force. Consider replacement if the damage compromises its intended use or safety.

Reduced grip due to oily hands

Wipe hands and the tool shaft with a clean cloth before use. Ensure the knurling is clear of debris.

Difficulty reaching a component

Assess if a different hook shape (e.g., swan neck) might provide better access. For very deep or obstructed areas, these tools may have limitations.
