How Do I Clean Garden Hand Tools?
Cleaning your garden hand tools is crucial for maintaining their performance and preventing the spread of diseases as well. You’ll want to start by removing any dirt or debris with a stiff brush, to make the tools smoother to clean. For metal tools, use a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Scrub the tools gently, and rinse thoroughly. Make sure that you dry them completely, otherwise rust may begin to form. For wooden handles, wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
How Can I Best Maintain Garden Hand Tools?
Apart from cleaning your tools regularly as above to stop dirt, dust and debris from building up, there are several steps you can take to extend the life of your tools:
- Sharpen blades regularly to ensure they cut efficiently.
- Apply a light coat of oil to metal parts to prevent rust
- Store tools in a dry, sheltered area to avoid exposure to the elements.
- Inspect tools periodically for any signs of damage or wear, and repair or replace as needed.
How Best to Store Garden Hand Tools?
Store tools in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent rust and moisture damage. Use a tool rack if possible, to keep tools organised and easily accessible. Hang smaller tools on hooks or place them in a toolbox. You will also want to ensure that blades are protected with covers or sheaths, to prevent injury and damage to the tools.
Regularly inspect your storage area for any signs of pests or moisture, and address issues promptly to prevent problems further down the line.
Why Are My Hands Shaking After Using Garden Tools?
If your hands are shaking after using garden tools, it could be due to several reasons. One common cause is fatigue, especially if you've been using tools for an extended period.
Ensure you take regular breaks and use tools with ergonomic handles (which we stock many of at TW Wholesale) to reduce strain. In some cases, shaking hands can be a sign of more serious conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or nerve issues. If shaking persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it may be a good idea to visit your doctor. Additionally, using tools that are too heavy or poorly maintained can exacerbate the issue, so ensure your tools are in good condition and suitable for the task you’re undertaking.
