Caring for cutting tools like secateurs, loppers, and shears is essential to maintain their performance and prolong their lifespan.
After each use, remove any dirt, sap, or debris from the blades using a stiff brush or old toothbrush. This prevents the buildup of residue that can dull the blades and lead to corrosion. To prevent the spread of diseases between plants, disinfect the blades of your cutting tools after each use, especially when pruning diseased plants. You can use rubbing alcohol or a solution of bleach and water for this purpose.
Keep the blades sharp for clean cuts by sharpening them regularly. Use a sharpening stone, file, or sharpening tool designed for pruning tools. Lubricate the moving parts of your cutting tools periodically to keep them operating smoothly. Apply a few drops of oil to the pivot points and other moving parts, then open and close the blades to distribute the oil evenly.
Regularly inspect your cutting tools for any signs of damage, such as bent or nicked blades, loose screws, or worn-out parts. Replace any damaged or worn components to maintain the tool's functionality and safety.
Store your cutting tools in a clean, dry place when not in use. Hang them up or keep them in a toolbox to prevent them from getting damaged or lost. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments to prevent rust. When not in use, protect the blades of your cutting tools with blade covers or sheaths. This helps prevent accidental cuts and keeps the blades sharp longer by reducing exposure to dirt and moisture. Use your cutting tools only for their intended purpose and handle them with care to avoid unnecessary wear and damage. Avoid cutting hard materials like wire or metal with pruning tools, as this can dull or damage the blades.
