Setup
This Torx bit socket is designed for quick and secure attachment to any standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.
- Select the Correct Drive Tool: Ensure you are using a tool with a 3/8-inch square drive.
- Attach the Socket: Align the square opening on the base of the J5239-30W socket with the drive tang of your ratchet or wrench. Push the socket firmly onto the drive tang until it clicks into place or is securely seated.

Operating Instructions
The J5239-30W Torx bit socket is used for installing or removing fasteners with a T30 Torx head.
- Identify Fastener Size: Confirm that the fastener you intend to work with has a T30 Torx head. Using the incorrect size can damage both the fastener and the bit.
- Engage the Fastener: Place the T30 Torx bit squarely into the head of the fastener. Ensure the bit is fully seated to prevent cam-out and damage.
- Apply Force:
- For tightening, turn the drive tool clockwise.
- For loosening, turn the drive tool counter-clockwise.
- Remove the Socket: Once the task is complete, pull the socket off the drive tool.
Important: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when using hand tools.

- Inspection: Regularly inspect the Torx bit for signs of wear, such as rounding of the points, cracks, or deformation. Check the socket body for any damage or corrosion.
- Storage: Store the socket in a dry environment to prevent rust. Keep it organized in a tool tray or box to protect it from impacts and prevent loss.
