Using the DeWalt DW2218IRB nut driver is easy. First, make sure your impact driver or wrench is turned off. Then, insert the nutsetter into the tool. The magnetic feature will help hold the fastener in place. When using it, place the nutsetter on the fastener and turn on the tool. The recessed corners are designed to drive on the flats of the fastener, so just position it correctly and let the tool do the work. When working in tight spaces, take advantage of the 20 - degree pivot of the magnet. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the nutsetter clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Also, check the magnet regularly to ensure it's still strong enough to hold the fasteners. And always follow the safety instructions of your impact driver or wrench when using this nut driver.
