Sure you are using it right? I use mine a LOT.

No, I never was too sure. The markings on the knurled knob are pretty ambiguous. I test it and when I hit it the socket does seem to turn in the right direction, but I've never been convinced.

I really should buy a name brand one. I use it very infrequently so it's not in the front of my mind when I'm in a tool store.

I use an electric one as Ive stated prior..but the hammer powered ones really work well when away from the grid

Mine came without instructions and someone had to tell me to twist it hard in the loosen direction to switch the internal cam before hammering. jsw

All these kids and tools...sigh...its like nobody had fathers to teach em how to use tools.

(Grin)

I dont think I got instructions in any of mine either, except the Craftsman one. But Ive used em for 45 yrs..and forget its a new toy to a lot of people.

My father was a poor Appalachian farm boy who knew a lot about vegetables, mules and hand tools, but not much of engines or electricity. I had to learn those on my own. My parents never understood why I'd rather take new toys apart than play with them. jsw

My dad was a mechanical engineer who became a watch repairman and gemologist.

Mom was an aeronautical engineer who became head county building inspector via parts manager for the Chevy house.

We had interesting discussions at dinner.
