Loosening Fasteners
The torque that is required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque,
depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces. However, if rust or corrosion causes
seizing, more torque may be required.
Using as hand tool (Fig .8)
You can use the tool as a hand ratchet wrench
by turning the tool in the direction arrows as
illustrated. In particular when loosening a stiff
bolt/nut, loosen it by hand first then turn the
tool on.
NOTICE: Excessive fastening torque may
damage the bolt/nut, the socket or the tool.
