Using the Klein Tools 1001 is easy. When you need to cut or strip wires, just place the wire in the appropriate cutting or stripping hole and squeeze the handles. For crimping terminals, lugs, or splices, use the color - coded crimping dies. And if you need to shear bolts, put the bolt in the right position and apply pressure. When using this tool, make sure to adjust the pivot nut for the right tension. This will ensure a smooth operation. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth. Keep it in a dry place to prevent rust. Also, periodically check the cutting blades and crimping dies for any signs of wear. If you notice any issues, it might be time to get them sharpened or replaced.
