●
Never hammer or put a pipe extension on a ratchet or
handle for added leverage.
●
Always support the ratchet head when using socket
extensions, but do not put your hand on the head or you
may interfere with the action of its reversing mechanism.
●
When breaking loose a fastener, apply a small amount of
pressure as a test to be sure the ratchet’s gear wheel is
engaged with the pawl.
Sockets
●
Never use hand sockets on power or impact wrenches.
●
Select the right size socket for the job.
●
Never cock any wrench or socket.

Select only impact sockets for use with air or electric
impact wrenches.

Always use approved eye protection when using power
or impact sockets.
