Using the Klein Tools 3246 connecting bar is easy. When you need to position steel members or align bolt holes, just insert the bar where needed. The pointed end can be used to get into tight spaces, and the 15 - degree angled chisel - end gives you extra leverage. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry to prevent rust. After use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. When storing, place it in a dry area. Be careful not to drop it from a height, as this could damage the hardened steel. Also, always use it within its specified weight and load limits to ensure safety and long - term performance.
