Setup and Preparation
- Unpack the Set: Carefully remove the wrench set from its packaging. The wrenches are typically stored in a roll-up pouch for organization.
- Inspect Contents: Verify that all 14 wrenches are present and free from any visible damage. Refer to the specifications section for the complete list of sizes.
- Familiarize Yourself: Identify the open-end and box-end of each wrench and their corresponding metric sizes.
Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for safe and effective use of your combination wrenches:
- Select Correct Size: Always choose the wrench that precisely fits the fastener. Using an incorrect size can strip the fastener or damage the wrench.
- Proper Grip: Hold the wrench firmly, ensuring your hand is positioned to pull the wrench towards you rather than push, to minimize the risk of slipping.
- Apply Force Evenly: Apply steady and even pressure. Avoid sudden jerking motions.
- Box End Preference: Whenever possible, use the box end of the wrench as it provides a more secure grip on the fastener and reduces the chance of rounding corners.
- Extension Avoidance: Do not use pipe extensions or "cheater bars" on wrenches, as this can over-torque fasteners and damage the tool.
- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when working with tools.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your RS PRO wrench set:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down wrenches with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and moisture. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
- Storage: Store the wrenches in their original roll-up pouch or a suitable toolbox to protect them from dust, moisture, and impact. Keep them in a dry environment to prevent rust.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect wrenches for signs of wear, cracks, or deformation. Discontinue use of any damaged tools to prevent injury or further damage to fasteners.
- Lubrication: While not typically required for combination wrenches, a light coat of rust-preventative oil can be applied if storing in a humid environment.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter:
- Wrench Slipping:
- Ensure the correct wrench size is selected for the fastener.
- Apply firm, even pressure.
- Use the box end whenever possible for better grip.
- Check if the fastener head is rounded; if so, specialized tools may be required.
- Fastener Not Loosening:
- Ensure you are turning in the correct direction (counter-clockwise for loosening most standard fasteners).
- For stubborn fasteners, apply penetrating oil and allow it to soak.
- Consider using a breaker bar (if appropriate for the fastener and tool, and with caution) or impact wrench for extremely tight fasteners, but not with these combination wrenches.
- Wrench Damage:
- Avoid using excessive force or "cheater bars."
- Do not use wrenches as hammers or pry bars.
- Replace any damaged wrenches immediately.
