How to use

Select the correct socket size (16, 18 or 21 mm) for the fastener. Fit the socket onto a compatible square drive wrench or impact driver matching DIN 3120 - C 12.5. If manual leverage is required, insert a tommy bar (Ø 8 mm) into the drilled hole to turn the socket by hand. Ensure the ball retaining groove engages to hold the socket securely on the drive before applying torque. After use, clean and store the socket in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish.

Recommendations

Use appropriate torque-rated tools and follow manufacturer torque specifications for fasteners. Do not use the socket on pneumatic or high-impact tools unless the tool and socket are rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for wear or damage before each use and replace if deformed or cracked.
