Tools are prone to rust and breakage if not taken care of properly. This is why we get you an easy 3-pointer to take care of your tools:
Storage: Tools are made of metal, so exposure to air and water is something that does not go well with them. So you need to store your tools in a dry place. Enclosed spaces or spaces with very less ventilation won’t be an ideal fit since there is always going to be some moisture hanging around there. So try and store your tools where you get a lot of light. However, if that isn’t possible, make sure that you get a dehumidifier.
Power-tools: Storing power-tools is tricky. The best we suggest is, store them away in their original case. The cases are made from hard plastic and offer the best possible storage for your power tools. Also, consider adding silica gel packs that you get in the packages. Just keep them in the toolkit boxes and they will soak up any small moisture present inside the box.
Oiling: It is not very necessary to oil the tools frequently. But for any specific needs, do refer your manual that comes with the toolboxes.
