Tips to maintain your pliers and snips
Your tools collect dirt and grime during use and storage. Thus, pliers and snips can corrode and become less effective if they are not cleaned regularly. Maintaining your pliers and snips will prolong their service life. It is also essential to inspect your tools before use to know when to repair them or replace them.
Here are some tips on how to maintain your pliers and snips:
- Wipe your tools dry after cleaning them
- Store them in a dry place. Make sure there is no moisture.
- Do not leave them outside at night. A good tip is to count them after a day of work to make sure they are all in your tool bag or the tool box.
- It is recommended to clean your tools thoroughly once a month
- You may apply oils or maintenance products like our AC-90 Lubricating Spray to remove rust.
- Try not to use pliers and snips in acidic environments to avoid corrosion.
