Operating Instructions

These flexible shaft nut drivers are designed for precision and access in challenging environments. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance and safety:

• Select the Correct Size: Always choose the nut driver that precisely matches the size of the fastener (nut or bolt head) you are working with. Using an incorrect size can damage the fastener or the tool.
• Access Confined Spaces: Gently bend the flexible shaft to navigate around obstacles and reach fasteners that are otherwise inaccessible with rigid tools. The braided steel shaft is designed to maintain integrity while flexing.
• Engage the Fastener: Ensure the nut driver's socket fully engages the fastener. A secure fit prevents slipping and potential damage.
• Apply Torque: Hold the SoftFinish handle firmly. Apply steady, controlled rotational force to loosen or tighten the fastener. The hardened mounted socket ensures efficient torque transfer through the flexible shaft.
• Avoid Over-Torquing: While these tools are robust, avoid excessive force that could strip the fastener or damage the tool. For applications requiring specific torque values, use a torque wrench.
• Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses, when working with tools. Ensure your work area is well-lit and stable.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Wiha Flexible Shaft Nut Driver Set:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tools with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Storage: Store the nut drivers in a dry environment, away from excessive moisture or corrosive chemicals, to prevent rust. The original packaging or a dedicated tool roll/box is ideal for protecting the shafts and handles.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the flexible shafts for any signs of fraying, kinking, or damage to the protective sleeve. Check the sockets for wear or deformation. Discontinue use of any damaged tool and replace it if necessary.
• Lubrication: The flexible shaft mechanism is designed for durability and generally does not require lubrication. Avoid applying lubricants to the shaft unless specifically instructed by Wiha.
