This ratchet wrench is rated at 1/4" USS bolt size. Rating must
be down graded for spring U bolts, tie bolts, long cap screws,
double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions and spring fasteners
as they absorb much of the impact power. When possible, clamp
or wedge the bolt to prevent springback.
Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break rust seal before
removing with impact wrench. If nut does not start to move in
three to five seconds use a larger size impact wrench.
Do not use impact wrench beyond rated capacity as this will
drastically reduce tool life.
