How to use

Select a square-drive handle or ratchet compatible with the socket (DIN 3120 / ISO 1174). Push the socket onto the square drive until the ball locking device engages to secure it. Use the appropriate torque and apply steady force; avoid sudden impacts that exceed the tool's intended hand-operated use. After use, wipe the chrome surface clean and store the socket in a dry place to minimise corrosion.

Recommendations

The Gedore 6236870 socket wrench is designed for manual use only; do not use with power tools or impact wrenches. Inspect the ball locking mechanism regularly for wear and replace the socket if deformation or cracks are found. For longest service life, clean and lightly oil the chrome-plated surface before storage.
