never used a socket wrench
I have a few hex screws that i would like to remove. I bought a bit
for my drill at home depot and lost it on the way home. I remembered that i had an old socket wrench set. Could someone tell me how this works? I see at the 'head' of the rachet a turning figure, but don't know its purpose. I assume they work on the same principle of clock wise and counter clock wise...turning it counter clock wise had no effect...what is the purpose of that 'turning lever' on the head? I manipulated it to see if i get any effect, especially counter clock wise, but there was no friction. Yes, at least i know that i have the proper size, cause i felt the tension tightening it.. |

Dear Frenchie: Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Words to live by. HellT Grow up people....Europe has much more open and saner views on sex, nuditiy, marriage, etc.....too bad Americans won't or can't learn this.... That's because in Europe their sex is all metric and ours is *standard* and just doesn't fit their openings. Ever try it? You turn and turn the sockets but they just skip without grabbing. It's a good way to strip your nuts if you ask me. -- PMS |

It shows all the basics and even warns the reader to not eat the wrench. |
