FAQs
What if I don't know the size of my wheel nuts?
You may need to try different sockets from the set to find the best fit. Start with the smallest and work your way up until you find a snug fit.
Can I use an impact wrench with this set?
It is not recommended to use an impact wrench with this set as it may damage the sockets or the wheel nuts. Use a hand wrench or breaker bar for better control.
What if the wheel nuts are very tight?
Try using penetrating oil to help loosen the nuts. Allow time for the oil to work before attempting removal. Apply force gradually.
What materials are the sockets made of?
The sockets are constructed from Molybdenum Steel for durability and strength.
What should I do if the set doesn't work?
If the set is not removing the nuts, it may be due to damage or incorrect socket selection. Consider seeking professional assistance from a mechanic.
Are the driving rods replaceable?
The set includes the driving rods, and they are designed to be used with the sockets. If they become damaged, the entire set might need to be replaced.
How do I store the set?
Store the set in a dry place to prevent rust. Ensure all pieces are clean before storing them to maintain their effectiveness.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the correct socket size is selected. If the nut is damaged, the set may not grip effectively. Consider using penetrating oil to help loosen the nut.
Socket is slipping.
Make sure the socket is fully seated on the nut. Use steady, firm pressure, and avoid jerky movements. If the nut is severely damaged, replacement may be necessary.
