Sockets
• Only use HYTORC sockets.
• Do not modify the sockets in any way.
• Do not use sockets that have been excessively heated or cooled.
• Use thick-walled heavy-duty sockets only. Do not use thin-walled sockets.
• Use 12-point sockets only if necessary.
• Do not use sockets that are used on impact wrenches. The impact deforms the drive hole of the
socket which hardens and brittles the steel. This can cause fracture of the steel and increases
the risk of flying objects.
• Make sure that the width across flats of the socket corresponds to the width across flats of the
nut or the bolt. Note the difference between metric and imperial measurements.
• Place the tool with the socket on the nut or the bolt. Make sure that the socket is placed over
the nut or the bolt as far as possible.
• Make sure that the socket is secured to the tool.
• Do not use common extension pieces or step-up/step-down adapters. HYTORC can develop
customized accessories to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HYTORC
representative for more information.
