Using your GearWrench 80730 socket set is easy. First, identify the right socket size for your fastener. You can quickly tell if it's SAE or metric thanks to the double - line and knurled markings. Slide the socket onto your 1/2 - inch drive tool. The chamfered opening will help guide the fastener into the socket. When using the socket, turn it in the appropriate direction to loosen or tighten the fastener. Remember, the off - corner loading design will help prevent the fastener from rounding. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the sockets with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The full polish chrome finish is resistant to corrosion, but it's still a good idea to keep them dry. Store the sockets in a cool, dry place. Don't use the sockets for jobs they're not designed for, and always check the fastener size before use to avoid damaging the sockets or the fasteners.
