Using this Klein single-ended impact socket is a breeze. First, decide which of the three socket sizes - 3/4-Inch, 1-Inch, or 1-1/8-Inch - you need. Then, extend or retract the head to access the right size. Attach the socket to your impact wrench. If you're working on long threaded bolts, the hollow shaft design allows for easy use. When using the 7/16-Inch hex quick-change adapter, make sure it's properly connected. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the socket clean with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If it gets really dirty, you can use a mild cleaning solution. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Remember, if the adapter gets damaged, you can replace it with the NRHDA3 replacement adapter.
