Installation Notes

This extension is a hand tool and requires no installation. Ensure the socket and extension are fully seated on the ratchet drive before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. When working on energized equipment, power down and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before using any hand tools near electrical components. Inspect the drive end and socket connection for wear before each use.
