HAND TOOL MAINTENANCE



Most hand tools are constructed of rust-resistant metals but they can still rust or corrode if not properly maintained. For best results and long tool life, the following steps should be taken:
*Clean each tool before placing it back into the tool box.
*Keep tools separated. Moisture on metal tools will start to rust more readily if the tools are in contact with another metal tool.


*Line the drawers of the tool box with a material that will prevent the tools from moving as the drawers are opened and closed. This helps to quickly locate the proper tool and size.
*Release the tension on all “clicker-type” torque wrenches.
*Keep the tool box secure.
