This manual provides instructions for the ARES 42073 4-Piece Flexible Socket Extension Set. This set includes two 1/4-inch drive extensions (6-inch and 10-inch lengths) and two 3/8-inch drive extensions (8-inch and 12-inch lengths). These tools are designed to provide extended reach and flexibility for accessing fasteners in confined or obstructed areas.

సెటప్
To use the flexible socket extensions, select the appropriate drive size (1/4-inch or 3/8-inch) and length for your application. Attach your desired socket to the square drive end of the extension. The spring-loaded detent ball on the extension ensures a secure fit, preventing the socket from slipping off during use. Connect the other end of the extension to your ratchet or drive tool.

These flexible socket extensions are designed to navigate around obstructions and reach fasteners that are otherwise inaccessible with rigid extensions. The flex spring shafts allow the extensions to bend into multiple positions, enabling you to apply torque from various angles. They are ideal for light-duty torque applications where space is limited. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the detent ball before applying force.

నిర్వహణ
To ensure the longevity and performance of your ARES Flexible Socket Extension Set, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- శుభ్రపరచడం: After each use, wipe down the extensions with a clean cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by a thorough drying.
- నిల్వ: Store the extensions in a dry environment to prevent moisture accumulation. Keep them organized in a toolbox or storage tray to protect them from damage and loss.
- తనిఖీ: Periodically inspect the flexible shafts and drive ends for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. While the chrome plated drive ends and black oxide coated shafts are corrosion-resistant, proper care helps maintain their condition.
ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్
If you encounter issues while using your flexible socket extensions, consider the following:
- Socket Slipping: Ensure the socket is fully engaged with the spring-loaded detent ball on the extension. If the socket still slips, inspect the detent ball and the socket's drive opening for wear or damage.
- Difficulty Bending: While flexible, these extensions are designed for light-duty torque. Excessive force or attempting to bend them beyond their intended flexibility may cause damage. Ensure you are not applying torque that exceeds the tool's capacity.
- తుప్పు: Although designed to be corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or moisture without proper cleaning can lead to corrosion. Refer to the maintenance section for care instructions.
- సాధన నష్టం: If an extension appears damaged or is not functioning correctly, discontinue use immediately. Refer to the warranty information for replacement options.
