    For hand tools, I like to give them a quick wipe-down after each use. A little WD-40 on the moving parts can help prevent rust and keep them working smoothly. For power tools, I make sure to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. This usually involves cleaning, lubricating, and replacing worn parts. 🤩✨👌

      Hello! I think it’s essential to store tools properly to avoid damage! 🛠️ I use a tool chest to keep everything organized, though I’m interested in other storage solutions too.

        Regularly oiling up the hinges and blades, plus keeping 'em dry and rust-free with a quick wipe down after use, does wonders for keeping tools in top shape! Also, store ‘em in a dry spot to avoid moisture damage. 🛠️👍

            Totally agree, a tool chest is awesome, but have you tried pegboards or magnetic strips for a sleek, space-saving setup? 😎 They keep everything in view and easily accessible. Appreciate the suggestion! 🙌
