Ratchets and Handles
Periodically clean and lubricate ratchet mechanisms with
a light grade oil. Do not replace parts individually; ratch-
ets should be rebuilt with the entire contents of service
kit.
Never hammer or put a pipe extension on a ratchet or
handle for added leverage.
Always support the ratchet head when using socket
extensions, but do not put your hand on the head or you
may interfere with the action of its reversing mechanism.
When breaking loose a fastener, apply a small amount of
pressure as a test to be sure the ratchet's gear wheel is
engaged with the pawl.
Sockets
Never use hand sockets on power or impact wrenches.
Select the right size socket for the job.
Never cock any wrench or socket.
Select only impact sockets for use with air or electric
impact wrenches.
Replace sockets showing cracks or wear.
Keep sockets clean.
Always use approved eye protection when using power
or impact sockets.
