Instructions
 
 
 

The adjustable installation tools are used to install sockets at any set height from flush to the maximum possible for a particular socket. The set height is adjusted via a built-in micrometer and locked at the desired height. The set height can be changed and the tool reused as often as needed.

Examples of Set Heights for AT Tools

Setting and Reading the Socket Set Height

Adjusting the set height on QA's adjustable tools is the same as using a micrometer.

The tool handle has markings from zero to .350" (9mm) in .025" (0.5mm) increments, and the thimble has markings in .005" [0.1mm] increments around its circumference.

Each full rotation of the thimble changes the set height by .025" (0.5mm). An example of various set heights are shown at right.

Locking the Thimble

Using the supplied hex key wrench, tighten both set screws on the thimble to lock it in place. To change the tool's set height, loosen both screws, dial the thimble to the new set height, and re-tighten the screws.

Important Notes

The thimble can be dialed past the zero position to negative set heights. Dialing the thimble until it stops does not set the tool flush - see the Set Flush example.

The Handle and Thimble are calibrated as a matched set. Do not separate tool parts or swap parts with any other adjustable tool.

These are precision tools and should be handled as such. No maintenance is required.
