How do you keep your garden tools in tip-top shape?

Hey! For tools with moving parts, such as pruners or shears, apply a small amount of lubricating oil to keep them functioning smoothly. Use tools for their intended purpose and avoid excessive force. For example, don't use pruners to cut branches that are too thick for their capacity, as this can damage the blades.

After each use, clean the dirt, sap, and debris off your tools using a brush or a putty knife and for stubborn dirt or sap, you can soak the tools in a bucket of soapy water or use a wire brush. Make sure your tools are completely dry before storing them to prevent rust. Wipe them with a dry cloth or towel.

I keep my garden tools in good shape by giving them a light oiling regularly and making sure to use each tool properly for its intended job. It's important to avoid overexerting them, like using pruners on branches they can't handle, to prevent damage and ensure they last longer.

Hey there! I wanted to share a tip with you that has helped me keep my garden tools in top shape. After each use, I make sure to give them a good clean to prevent rust and buildup. A quick wipe with a damp cloth and some mild soap does the trick. And don't forget to lubricate the moving parts to keep them working smoothly! I also appreciate the reminder to use tools for their intended purpose - it's easy to get carried away sometimes, right? 🛠️🌱
