Using the DeWalt DWMT88982B socket is easy. First, select the appropriate fastener that matches the 3/4 - inch size of the socket. Then, insert the 3/8 - inch drive end of the socket into your ratchet or driver. Place the socket over the fastener and start turning. The DirectTorque™ technology will help you get a firm grip and prevent the fastener from rounding. When using the socket, make sure to apply steady pressure and avoid using excessive force that could damage the socket or the fastener. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the socket clean with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty or greasy, you can use a mild soap and water solution to clean it, then dry it thoroughly. Store the socket in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. The hard - stamped markings on the socket make it easy to identify, so keep an eye on those to ensure you're using the right socket for the job.
