Installation Instructions: Always check boot sole depth before installing Grip Studs. Grip Studs boot studs can be installed with the Grip Studs power bit in a variable speed drill. Snap a stud into the tip of the install tool (auger end facing outward). Position the end of the stud firmly against the boot sole. Steadily apply pressure straight down while slowly screwing the stud into the sole until the prongs on the tool penetrate the surface of the sole. Remove the tool from the stud. The notched collar on the stud should be flush with the boot sole. Studs may come out if they are not adequately sunk into the sole. Repeat procedure for all studs. For optimum traction, install studs in varied pattern (not in a straight line) on the sole so the studs can make better contact with the terrain. Grip Studs are also easily removed by backing them out with the same tool. CAUTION: Over-tightening may cause studs to penetrate entirely through boot soles; verify sole thickness before installing studs. Studs may damage or mar floors, truck beds and other surfaces.
