Proper Tool Maintenance

1. Workshop with clean, organized tools

If you take care of your tools, they will return the favor. Proper care and routine
maintenance of your hand tools and power tools makes any home improvement or repair
project easier, safer and more successful. Proper tool care also saves you money because the
better they’re cared for, the longer they’ll last.

2.Hand Tools
Hand tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, pliers, levels, and wire cutters are
examples of common household tools that are often left out in places such as basements,
garages and tool sheds. Tools are tough, but they are not indestructible and exposure to the
elements can take its toll.
Below are some tips on how to take care of your tools and store them properly so that you get
optimum use out of them.
3.Clean, Inspect and Care for Tools
Make it a habit to clean tools after each use before you return them to storage. Wipe them
down with a rag or old towel and be sure they are free of dust, grease and debris before you
put them into their proper places. This is also an opportunity to look for any damage or defects.
Check your tools’ handles for splinters, breaks and cracks. Also, make sure that metal parts
show no signs of corrosion or rust. Repair or replace any tools that show signs of damage.

Cold chisels, log-splitting wedges and other striking tools can be very dangerous if they are not
maintained properly. Because these types of tools are used for repeated striking, the surface of
the metal head eventually mushrooms out and spreads to form a lip or ridge around the edge.
With continued use, there is more spreading and the metal lip may continue to thin, split or curl
until it finally breaks. If the metal head separates from the handle while in use, this could result
in a dangerous projectile. To prevent this hazard, just grind off the metal edges with a powered
grinder on a regular basis.
SAFETY ALERTS!
Don’t use tools that need repair or replacement. Broken tools can cause injury.
Don’t use tools inappropriately; you risk injury to yourself, others and damage to the tools.
After cleaning, use an all-purpose oil, such as WD-40® to lubricate tools with adjustable parts.
Lightly spray other metal tool parts as well (avoid getting oil on handles), such as screwdrivers
and bladed lawn and garden tools. Wipe away any excess with a rag before storing. This will
help fight corrosion and rust.
If your tools already show signs of rust, there are a number of rust removers available at True
Value, such as Evapo-Rust Rust Remover. You can also try spraying tools with WD-40® and then
scrubbing them with steel wool or a stiff wire brush. Afterwards, wash them with warm, soapy
water and scrub them again with a cloth or rag until all signs of rust are gone. Then dry them
thoroughly with a clean, dry rag. Apply a light coat of WD-40® and wipe away excess oil before
storing.
SAFETY ALERT!
You should wear heavy gloves when cleaning or removing rust from tools that can cut. Wear
safety goggles when using a wire brush to remove rust.
Smooth weathered, rough wooden handles with a medium-grit emery cloth. Handles should be
smooth enough to slide your hand along. If the wood is very rough, first sand across the grain in
a shoe-shine fashion. Finish by sanding with the grain. Wipe a dry handle down with a heavy
coat of linseed oil to rejuvenate and protect the wood.
Bladed tools, such as shovels, pruners and other lawn and garden tools should be sharpened
once per season. Use files to sharpen digging tools and to sharpen nicked or dull cutting tools.
For digging tools, file the working edge to a 45-degree bevel with a coarse file. Hone and
maintain the sharp edge of all cutting tools with a medium-grit sharpening stone. For faster
cutting, wet the stone with water or lubricate it with honing oil depending on the type of stone
you have.
4.Store Tools Properly
A proper storage system is a must for hand tools. A toolbox, storage container, shelving unit,
or a combination of all of these can be used to keep your tools protected and in peak condition.
Ideally, your storage units should be kept somewhere with minimal exposure to moisture and
temperature changes. Remember to keep tools in their respective places or hung on designated
hangers when a job has been completed.
HELPFUL TIPS
Use a small tool bag for the tools you use most often such as tools for simple jobs around the
house. The rest of your tool arsenal can remain in your main toolbox.
You should have a space where you can inspect your tools and perform necessary maintenance
tasks, such as a worktable. Cover it with newspaper or plastic sheeting to protect the table and
make it easier to clean up after you’re done with the job.
Hang lawn and garden tools, such as shovels and rakes, on a wall to get them off of the ground
and to protect them from moisture.

5.Power Tools

Power tools such as electric drills, saws, sanders and nailers need routine maintenance just
like your hand tools. Because of their mechanical and electrical parts, power tools are more
susceptible to problems caused by poor maintenance, dust and debris accumulation and
general malfunction. The following are some helpful tips on how to clean and properly store
your tools.
6.Keep Power Tools Clean
Dust and grime can bring your power tools to a grinding halt if left unchecked over time.
Wipe them clean with a rag after every job has been completed and then store them. Deep
clean periodically by using a damp cloth. Get into exhausts and intakes and other hard-to-clean
areas with lightly oiled cotton swabs or other slender tools.
HELPFUL TIP
Using an air compressor or a can of compressed air to blow air into vents and crevices is the
best way to remove dirt and dust from inside tools.
For tools that use filters, replace the filters as specified by the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Store Power Tools Correctly

Keep your power tools protected from dust, moisture and other adverse conditions by
storing them properly after use. Keep them in their original cases if possible, or tuck them away
in storage drawers or tool chests, preferably in a garage or basement with a moderately
controlled climate. This not only protects them, it also keeps them organized so you can easily
find the tool you need when you need it.
HELPFUL TIP

Remember to keep instruction manuals for all of your tools. They are provided to you by the
manufacturer so that you can safely and competently operate your tools. They’ll also have
valuable information on how to care for the tool, find replacement parts and other important
pieces of information. Store manuals either in a toolbox drawer or a cabinet in your
workspace/storage area so that they are readily available.
8. Inspect for Wear or Damage
Periodically inspect power tools for any signs of wear or damage. Pay special attention to
power cords. If you see frayed insulation or exposed wires, have the cord repaired or replaced
immediately by a professional, unless you have the expertise to do it yourself. Damaged power
cords can potentially lead to injury from electric shock or can cause a fire. Also, check the cord’s
prongs to see if they are bent or loose. If any are, repair or replace.
SAFETY ALERT!
Always unplug electric tools when cleaning them or making any repairs to avoid the danger of
electric shock. It’s also a good practice to unplug them when not in use.
9.Lubricate Moving Parts

Keep moving parts lubricated for premium performance. Not only does it keep the mechanics
of a tool running smoothly, it also decreases the chance of rust developing. While common
machine oil is a good choice, consult your owner’s manual to see if the manufacturer
recommends or requires a specific type of oil.
10.Keep Batteries in Shape
Cordless, battery-powered tools are convenient and portable and have become very popular
for contractors and homeowners alike. To keep them running efficiently and effectively, it is
essential for their batteries to be maintained.
Batteries remain working at peak level by fully charging and then fully discharging their power
once every couple of weeks. Don’t let batteries sit unused for extended periods of time. Try to
use batteries once every two weeks.
Care for batteries by cleaning contacts with cotton swabs and alcohol. Store batteries you won’t
be using for a while in a dry, clean place away from excessive heat.
That’s it! Follow these general steps and your tools should last for years.
