Using the Klein Tools 3259 Standard Bull Pin is straightforward. Just place it where you need it for your work. When using, make sure to apply force evenly to avoid any unnecessary stress on the pin. Remember, this pin doesn't have extra protection against mushrooming, so don't use excessive force. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. The black finish helps resist rust, but if you notice any signs of rust starting, use a mild metal cleaner to remove it. Store it in a dry place when not in use to ensure its long - term durability.
