Using this Klein M200ST Comfort Grip Kit is easy. First, take the comfort grips out of the package. Slide them onto the straight handle of your Klein's 9 - Inch Slim - Head Ironworker's Pliers (Cat. No. 201 - 7CST). Then, use the heat shrink bands to secure the grips in place. You can use a heat gun to shrink the bands, just be careful not to overheat them. When using the pliers with the grips, you'll notice the extra cushioning and better control. As for maintenance, you can clean the grips with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the plastic material. Also, store the pliers in a dry place to keep the grips in good condition. Remember, the pliers are not included in the kit, so make sure you have the right ones before installing the grips.
