Using your Makita A-96372 socket set is easy. First, select the right socket for the job. If you're using an impact driver, make sure to attach the appropriate adapter (sold separately). Simply place the socket on the tool's drive and start working on your nuts or bolts. When using the set, always make sure the tool is turned off before changing sockets. This will prevent any accidental injuries. Also, avoid using the sockets with tools that exceed their torque capacity as it may damage the sockets. For maintenance, after each use, clean the sockets with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If they get wet, dry them thoroughly to prevent rust. Periodically check the locking hole and the drive for any signs of wear. With proper use and care, your Makita socket set will serve you well for a long time.
