Operating Instructions

This socket set is designed for use with impact drivers and power tools, providing efficient and reliable fastening or loosening of nuts and bolts.

Using the Sockets and Extension Bars:

1. Attach Extension Bar: Insert the 1/4" hex end of the selected extension bar (75mm or 150mm) into the chuck of your impact driver or power tool. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Attach Socket: Slide the desired double-ended socket onto the square drive end of the extension bar. The quick chuck end on the extension bar will hold the socket firmly in place.
3. Select Size: Position the correct size end of the double-ended socket onto the fastener (nut or bolt head). The dual-sided function allows for quick flipping to access the next size if needed.
4. Operation: Activate your power tool to apply torque. Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the fastener to prevent stripping.
5. Removal: After use, turn off the power tool. Carefully remove the socket from the fastener, then detach the socket from the extension bar and the extension bar from the power tool.

Note: These sockets are thin-walled, making them ideal for use in confined areas where standard sockets may not fit. They are manufactured from chrome molybdenum for impact quality and durability.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your TOOLCONNECTION 8905 socket set.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down sockets and extension bars with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of rust-preventative oil to the metal surfaces, especially if storing in a humid environment.
• Storage: Always store the sockets and extension bars in their provided plastic storage case. The EVA foam tray helps keep components organized and protected from damage and loss. Store in a dry place away from direct moisture.
• Inspection: Before each use, inspect all components for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Do not use damaged tools; replace them as necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your socket set, consider the following common solutions:

• Socket Not Fitting Fastener:
  • Ensure you are using the correct size socket for the fastener. Double-check both metric and imperial sizes if unsure.
  • Verify the fastener is not stripped or damaged, which could prevent proper socket engagement.
• Socket Slipping:
  • Confirm the socket is fully seated on the extension bar and the extension bar is securely in the power tool's chuck.
  • Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the fastener.
  • If the socket is worn or rounded internally, it may need replacement.
• Difficulty Removing Socket from Extension Bar:
  • The quick chuck mechanism holds the socket firmly. A firm pull may be required. Ensure the power tool is off and stable.
