Troubleshooting
T40 Torx head does not fit securely.
Ensure the fastener is indeed a T40 Torx size. Verify there is no debris in the fastener head or on the T-Bar tip. The tool is precisely sized for T40 and may not fit slightly worn or non-standard heads.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque.
Ensure you are using the long part of the T-handle for maximum leverage. Check that the T-Bar tip is fully engaged in the fastener head. If the fastener is seized, penetrating oil may be required, and care should be taken not to overtighten or strip the head.
Tool appears to be rusting.
Clean the tool thoroughly with a rust remover suitable for tools and dry it completely. Apply a light coat of machine oil or protectant to prevent future rust. Store in a dry location.
