4. Дастурҳои истифодабарӣ
These wrenches are designed for efficient tightening and loosening of fasteners in various applications.
4.1 Selecting the Correct Size
Identify the required fastener size. Each wrench has four sizes stamped on its handle. Select the end of the wrench that matches the fastener size.
4.2 Engaging the Fastener
Position the 12-point box end of the wrench over the fastener. The 12-point design allows for quick engagement from multiple angles.
4.3 Using the Ratcheting Mechanism
Once engaged, apply force to the wrench handle to turn the fastener. The 72-tooth ratcheting gear requires only a 5-degree swing arc, allowing for continuous turning without removing and repositioning the wrench, especially in confined spaces.

4.4 Utilizing the Flex-Head
The flex-head can pivot up to 180 degrees. Adjust the head to the desired angle to navigate around obstructions or to achieve a more comfortable working position. The head will hold its angle during use.
4.5 Reversing Direction
To change the direction of the ratcheting action (from tightening to loosening, or vice-versa), use the flush-mounted reversing lever located on the head of the wrench. Simply push the lever to the opposite side. This can be done without removing the wrench from the fastener.

4.6 Маслиҳатҳои умумӣ оид ба истифода
- Always ensure the wrench head is fully seated on the fastener to prevent slippage and damage to both the fastener and the tool.
- Avoid using extension pipes or excessive force, as this can damage the ratcheting mechanism or the wrench itself.
- For stubborn fasteners, apply steady, increasing pressure rather than sudden jerks.

5. Нигоҳдорӣ
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DURATECH wrenches.
- Тозакунӣ: After each use, wipe the wrenches clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris. For heavier grime, use a mild degreaser and then wipe dry.
- Пешгирии занг: Although chrome plated for rust resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause corrosion. Store the wrenches in a dry environment, preferably in their rolling pouch. Applying a light coat of rust-inhibiting oil periodically can further protect the tools.
- Молидани: The ratcheting mechanism and flex-head pivot points may benefit from occasional lubrication with a light machine oil to maintain smooth operation. Apply sparingly and wipe off any excess.
- Санҷиш: Regularly inspect the wrenches for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Discontinue use if any significant damage is observed.
6. Баррасии мушкилот
This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of your wrenches.
6.1 Flex-Head Becomes Loose
If the flex-head becomes excessively loose and does not hold its position, it may indicate wear or a need for adjustment. Some flex-heads are designed with a tensioning screw (often a Torx screw) that can be carefully tightened. However, overtightening can damage the mechanism. If the issue persists after careful adjustment, or if no adjustment mechanism is apparent, contact customer support.
6.2 Ratcheting Mechanism Malfunction
If the ratcheting mechanism slips, jams, or the reversing lever does not function correctly, inspect for debris or damage. Clean the mechanism thoroughly and apply a small amount of lubricant. If the issue continues, or if the reversing lever appears broken or dislodged, the tool may require professional repair or replacement. Avoid forcing the mechanism, as this can cause further damage.
6.3 Wrench Slipping on Fastener
Ensure you are using the correct size wrench for the fastener. A wrench that is too large will slip and can damage both the fastener and the wrench. Ensure the wrench head is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. If the wrench continues to slip, the fastener may be stripped, or the wrench head may be worn.
