HOW TO USE:

1. Select the appropriate socket: Choose a 3/8″ drive socket that matches the size of the fastener you are working with.
2. Attach the socket: Firmly push the selected socket onto the square drive of the ratchet head until it clicks into place.
3. Adjust the length: To extend or retract the shaft, locate the locking mechanism (usually a collar or button) on the handle or shaft. Engage the mechanism, then pull or push the shaft to your desired length. Release the mechanism to lock the shaft in position.
4. Set the direction: Use the directional switch (typically a lever or knob on the ratchet head) to select the tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter-clockwise) direction.
5. Engage the fastener: Place the socket squarely over the fastener head.
6. Apply force: Grip the thermal plastic over-molded handle firmly and apply consistent force to turn the fastener. Use the ratchet's click-and-return motion to continuously turn the fastener until it is tightened or loosened to the required degree.
7. Release the socket: To remove the socket, press the quick-release button on the ratchet head and pull the socket off.
