How to use

Select the correct socket size for the fastener and attach it to a compatible drive tool with the specified C 12.5 square drive. Engage the socket onto the fastener until the ball retaining groove locks the tool in place. For additional leverage or to operate in confined spaces, insert a tommy bar through the Ø 8 mm hole. Apply torque gradually and avoid sudden impacts when using by hand; for powered tools, follow the tool manufacturer's torque limits.

Recommendations

Use the Gedore 6145640 impact socket with matching standardized drives and appropriate torque settings. Inspect the socket for damage or excessive wear before each use, clean and lightly lubricate as needed, and store in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish and material integrity.
