How to use

Select the correct wrench size for the nut or bolt to ensure full jaw engagement. Position the open end over the fastener with the jaws aligned and apply steady force to turn. Use the 15° offset to reach fasteners in restricted spaces by flipping the wrench as needed. Avoid excessive impact or bending loads that could damage the tool or fastener.

Recommendations

Inspect the wrench before use for wear or deformation and keep it clean and lightly oiled to preserve the finish. Do not use the wrench as a hammer or pry bar; if higher torque is required, use an appropriately sized tool or a torque wrench to avoid damaging fasteners or the tool.
