Hand Tool Care Tips:

• The best way to maintain hand tool's sharpness is to use a flat file, followed by a whetstone. Accidents are less likely when using tools that are sharp.

• Faces on striking tools can also be maintained best with a flat file. Maintain the convex face and chamfer as it originally appears.

• Prevent rust by wiping or spraying metal parts with light oil during long periods of storage.

• To replace a wooden handle, first clean the eye thoroughly. Fit the new handle with a rasp or sandpaper. Store the handle overnight in a warm, dry room to ensure dryness. The handle should be driven in tight, and then drive the wood wedge as far as possible. Saw the handle flush with the tool head.

• Replace steel wedges as needed.
