Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit onto the drive tool.
Ensure you are using a 1/2" drive tool. Verify that the drive tool's square head is not damaged or obstructed.
Socket appears to be rounding a fastener head.
Ensure you are using the correct size socket. Apply steady, even pressure. For extremely tight fasteners, consider using a breaker bar for increased leverage or a penetrating oil.
Socket is difficult to remove from the drive tool.
Some drive tools have a ball-detent or pin mechanism. Ensure the socket's drive hole is clear. If using a tool with a detent, a slight twist might help disengage it.
Corrosion appearing on the socket.
Clean the socket thoroughly with a dry cloth and ensure it is completely dry before storing. Apply a light coat of oil if storing for an extended period in a humid environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This socket set requires a compatible 1/2" square drive tool, such as a ratchet, breaker bar, or impact wrench. Select the appropriate socket size for the fastener you are working with and securely attach it to your drive tool.
Compatibility: The set is designed for use with 1/2" drive tools. The sockets are compatible with Draper and Draper Expert tool chests, as well as similar tool chests from other manufacturers, provided the drawer dimensions accommodate the 28.60cm x 18.00cm x 5.40cm EVA insert tray.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the sockets, clean them after each use with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris.

Store the sockets in their provided EVA insert tray to prevent loss and protect them from corrosion and impact.
