Troubleshooting
Socket won't fit the fastener.
Double-check the socket size to ensure it matches the fastener. Make sure there is no debris in the socket or on the fastener preventing a proper fit.
Socket is slipping and rounding off the fastener.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and that you are applying force directly along the axis of the fastener. If the fastener is severely damaged, consider using a different method to remove it.
Socket is difficult to remove from the impact wrench.
Check the impact wrench's release mechanism for any obstructions. Apply penetrating oil if needed, and gently tap the socket to loosen it.
