Using the GearWrench 80880 tool set is a breeze. First, pick the right socket size for the fastener you're working on. Slide the socket onto the ratchet or the handle you prefer, like the flex handle or T-handle. The quick-release feature on the ratchet makes it easy to swap sockets. When using the extensions, just connect them to the drive tool and socket for better reach.
Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always make sure the socket fits snugly on the fastener to avoid rounding it. Don't use the tools with excessive force beyond their capacity. If you're dealing with tough or rusty fasteners, it's a good idea to use a penetrating oil first.
For maintenance, after each use, wipe down the tools with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can also apply a light coat of oil to the metal parts to prevent rust. Keep the tools in the metal storage case when not in use. This will not only protect them but also keep them organized for your next project.
