This ratchet wrench is rated at 3/8" USS bolt size. Rating must be down
graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws, double depth nuts, badly
rusted conditions and spring fas t en e rs as they absorb much of the impact
power. When possible, clamp or wedge the bolt to prevent springback.
Soak rusted nuts in pen e t rat i ng oil and break rust seal before removing with
im p act wrench. If nut does not start to move in three to five sec o nds, use a
larger size impact wrench. Do not use impact wrench be y ond rated ca p ac i t y
as this will dras t i c al l y reduce tool life.
The forward/reversing button is used to change the ro t a t ion of the tool. When
the button is set to the right, the tool will turn in a right hand ro t a t ion. When
the button is set to the left, the tool will turn in a left hand ro t a t ion.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is di r ect l y related to joint hard n ess, tool
speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is allowed to impact.
Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every connection absorbs
energy and reduces power.
