Resolution

The tool struggles to drive larger fixings or coach screws.

Possible Causes

• Worn impact mechanism
• Gearbox wear
• Internal component damage
• Excessive wear from prolonged use

Resolution

• Inspect for unusual vibration or noise.
• Use the correct fixing and accessory.
• Arrange servicing if performance remains poor.

Impact Function Not Engaging

If impact action remains absent, professional repair is recommended.
