To keep your garden tools in top condition, it's important to perform regular maintenance. Start by inspecting the handles for any signs of damage or wear. Next, check the blades for rust or dullness, and clean them with a damp cloth or brush. Sharpen the blades using a sharpening stone or file, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Don't forget to check the tightness of any screws or bolts and tighten as necessary. Finally, store your tools in a dry, protected area to prevent rust and damage. By following this garden tool maintenance checklist, you can ensure that your tools are always ready to use when you need them.
