Does the wrench tighten nuts and bolts when you squeeze the handle or do you have to turn the whole wrench to tighten and squeeze nuts and bo

You still have to turn the wrench to tighten the nuts. What is nice is that when you squeeze the nuts, the wrench doesn't slip off! I love this wrench!

Yes you have to turn the wrench handle manually. There is no motor to make it turn,therefor your motor is in your own hands. Good luck. Pete

Wrench clicks or slips as you've suggested. My application of this wrench has been for tightening spark plugs on my boat. 3 years running, i use 30 ft lbs with this wrench, no issues.

Correct, when you squeeze the handle, the jaws enlarge, opposite of what you'd expect from needle-nose pliers. There is a small spring, in the pliers, that holds the handles "open" for you, so that when you are done placing the snap ring, the jaws return to the closed position ready for the next snap ring. Confusing, but intuitive when you are using them since new snap rings are essentially closed, and you'd have floppy handled pliers without the "self-opening spring-loaded handles."

If you are pulling under load, handle will lock horizontally to the back. If you are pushing under load, it will be cocked forward.

No. My handle was always loose and couldn't be tightened all the way. It's junk. Pass on it or send it back! It's defective!

hit the wrench hard and very very fast!! that's the old school way to loosen the nuts, before they had arbor locks

Make sure the attachment is pushed all the way in, then turn the locking ring at the top of the handle. It can be difficult to turn!

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.

the fork attachment tightens just like most quick release wheels tighten. That is done by turning the bolt so it is close to snug then flipping the tightening lever to tighten the bolt on your fork. I hope that makes sense. Thanks

The bar in the handle will turn freely when the bar is placed in the middle of the screw part. It can be slid sideways for added leverage to tighten the vise more.

follow cable down to lever that stops wheel. you will see a nut, turn to left to tighten. turn to right to loosen.

Just give it a twist and it tightens. I've had mine for a couple of years and it works great.

you tighten it with the provided chain saw tool, it has a standard screwdriver head on one end and the wrench on the other. you simply loosen the to bar nuts and then tighten or loosen as needed.

It turns like any drill to tighten the bit. I wish it came with a clutch system like other drills. Other than that, I love this drill!

The handle collapses or extends as you twist it. You need to have some muscle to do it so you may have to have someone assist. The best place to grip it is near where the silver part meets the blue part. also tightens there. Good Luck.

The bit tightening and untightening mechanism is different on this drill than ones I have used in the past. You can use the drill's motion by holding the black portion of the chuck. However, I do not do it that way, especially for tightening. The drill has an internal self-locking mechanism. So, if you start turning the chuck as if to manually loosen, it will lock and just turn it hard to loosen the bit. For tightening, it is the same, but in the other direction.
