When used correctly according to the provided instructions, the kit is designed to extract the nut without damaging the rim; however, improper alignment may cause cosmetic surface marks.
Is an air-powered impact gun recommended?

Troubleshooting
The adaptor slips off the bolt head during use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the kit, always clean the mandrels and threads after each use to remove metal shavings or debris. Compatibility is restricted to McGard-style locking nuts; attempting to use this on other locking lug types may lead to tool failure or wheel damage. Store the kit in a dry, cool environment. Before starting, ensure the impact driver is set to the correct rotation and that the vehicle is securely supported on jack stands, as the removal process requires significant torque.
