Congratulations on your new comprehensive toolset! Whether you're a DIY beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, the X3-ABC set is designed to handle a wide range of home repair, assembly, and improvement projects. This guide will help you understand your tools and their common applications.


Toolbox Overview & Preparation

Your X3-ABC toolbox is intelligently organized into three stackable layers:

  • Layer A: Core hand tools, measuring, and fastening fundamentals.

  • Layer B: Precision screwdrivers, pliers, cutting tools, and wall fixing kits.

  • Layer C: The power core – a 12V Cordless Drill with a comprehensive set of accessories.

Important First Steps:

  • Charging: Fully charge the 12V Cordless Drill before first use using the provided Type-C cable.

  • Familiarize Yourself: Learn the layout of each layer. Custom moldings keep tools neat—always return tools to their designated spots after use.

Common Home Maintenance Scenarios & Application Guide

Tool Used: Layer A – 3.5m Tape Measure

Applications:

  • Furniture Arrangement: Measure your room and furniture for a perfect fit.

  • Hanging Pictures/Shelves: Ensure everything is level and symmetrical.

Applications:

  • Flat-Pack Furniture: Cordless drill saves time and effort.

  • Select the Bit: Use the correct bit (often PH2) from Layer C or Layer A.

  • Set the Drill: Low torque (5–8) prevents stripping particle board screws. Use low-speed mode.

Operation:

  • Set drill to reverse.

  • Press extractor bit firmly into stripped screw head.

  • Run drill at low speed to back out the screw.

12V Cordless Drill Pro Tips

  • Torque Ring (17+1 Settings): Low numbers = low torque; high numbers = high torque.

  • Speed Switch: Low (0–400 rpm) = high torque; High (0–1500 rpm) = fast drilling.

  • Forward/Reverse Switch: Forward = driving/drilling, Reverse = removing screws.

Safety & Maintenance Advice

  • Safety First: Always wear safety glasses, especially with drill, knife, and pliers.

  • Proper Storage: Return tools to custom foam for organization and efficiency.
