The Astro Pneumatic Tool Company 78244 Nano Pinless Universal Impact Socket Set is a specialized tool designed for use with a 1/2" drive impact wrench to efficiently drive hex fasteners. This set is engineered to provide a full 360° of freedom for the universal head to angle and rotate, thanks to its pinless design. This feature allows for greater flexibility and access in various working conditions, making it easier to reach fasteners in tight or awkward spaces. The swivel hex design is specifically crafted to transfer impact forces more efficiently, which not only enhances performance but also contributes to the tool's overall durability. The sockets are forged from CRO-MO (Chromium-Molybdenum) steel, a material known for its strength and resistance to wear, ensuring a long lifespan for the product.
The intended use of this tool is strictly for driving hex fasteners with a 1/2" drive impact wrench. Users are explicitly warned against using the tool outside of this designed intent or modifying it for any other purpose. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining the tool's integrity and ensuring user safety. The product comes with a lifetime warranty against defective material or workmanship, underscoring the manufacturer's confidence in its quality. However, this warranty is subject to certain conditions, such as proper use and maintenance. Failures resulting from accident, alteration, or misuse are not covered.
For maintenance and care, users are advised to study, understand, and follow all instructions provided in the manual. This includes reading all warnings and operating instructions carefully before installing, operating, servicing, or repairing the tool. Keeping the instructions in a safe, accessible place is recommended for future reference. When unpacking the product, users should check the parts diagram and listing to ensure all components are included and undamaged. In case of missing or damaged parts, contacting the distributor is advised rather than attempting to use an incomplete or compromised set.
Safety is a paramount concern when using the 78244 socket set. Users are warned that the product can expose them to chemicals such as ethylene glycol, gasoline vapors, and engine exhaust, which are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm in California. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to always wear ANSI-approved safety equipment, including safety glasses and appropriate clothing. Goggles are specifically mentioned as a requirement for both users and bystanders. The manual emphasizes that failure to read and follow all warnings and operating instructions can lead to serious injury or death.
Furthermore, users should never use this tool for any application other than its designed purpose and should only use accessories specifically designed for it. Any alteration or modification of the tool is strictly prohibited, as improper operation, maintenance, or use with non-designed accessories can result in severe injury. When performing tasks, it is crucial to select the correct accessories of the appropriate size and design for the job. Working in a clean, safe, well-lit, organized, and adequately equipped area is also highlighted as a critical safety practice. Before commencing any repairs, users must ensure that the vehicle is in a secure position and will not move.
The product information also details that the pinless design not only allows for 360° freedom but also contributes to the efficiency of impact force transfer. The forged CRO-MO construction is a key factor in its durability and the provision of a lifetime warranty. For any performance-related questions or warranty claims, users are directed to contact Astro Pneumatic Tool Co. directly, rather than returning the entire product to the distributor, especially if only a component part has failed. Astro will replace free of charge component parts of products that consist of multiple items or components. This policy aims to streamline the replacement process for items like kits and hand tool sets.
The warranty is limited to the original user and cannot be transferred. It is also stated that the warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Some states may not allow the exclusion of limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations might not apply to all users. The manual explicitly instructs users not to return any product without first calling the provided customer service number for instructions, reinforcing the importance of following proper procedures for support and warranty claims. This comprehensive approach to design, safety, and customer support ensures that the 78244 Nano Pinless Universal Impact Socket Set is a reliable and durable tool for its intended applications.
