Punches/Chisels

Never use a punch or chisel with a chipped or mush-
roomed end. Dress mushroomed chisels and punches
with a grinder.
Hold a chisel or a punch with a tool holder if possible.
When using a chisel on a small piece, clamp the piece
firmly in a vise and chip toward the stationary jaw.
Always wear approved eye protection when using these
tools.
Protect bystanders with approved eye protection.

Screwdrivers

Do not use a screwdriver for prying, punching, chiseling,
scoring or scraping.
Use the right type of screwdriver for the job; match the tip
to the fastener.
Do not interchange POZIDRIV, PHILLIPS or REED AND
PRINCE screwdrivers.
Screwdriver handles are not intended to act as insulation.
Do not use them on live electrical circuits.
Do not use a screwdriver with rounded edges because it
will slip. Redress with a grinder.

Ratchets and Handles

Periodically clean and lubricate ratchet mechanisms with
a light grade oil. Do not replace parts individually; ratchets
should be rebuilt with the entire contents of service kit.
Never hammer on a ratchet or put a pipe extension on a
ratchet 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 a fastener loose, 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 only impact sockets for use with air or electric
impact wrenches.
Select the right size socket for the job.
Always keep the wrench or socket squarely on the
fastener.
Replace sockets showing cracks or wear.
Keep sockets clean.
Always use approved eye protection when using power
or impact sockets.

Storage Units

Do not open more than one loaded drawer at a time. Close
each drawer before opening another to prevent the cabinet
from unexpectedly tipping over.
Close lids and lock drawers and doors before moving
storage units.
Do not pull on a tool cabinet; push it in front of you.
Set the brakes on the locking casters after the cabinet has
been rolled into position.
