Allow the tools to dry before putting them away.
Always make sure your tools are clean before you sharpen them.
Sharpen the blades on shovels, spades, and hoes from time to time.
Grease periodically any tools that have moveable parts.
If the hinges on your tools are squeaking then bolts should be tightened and a lubricant applied.
Periodically, check the electrical cord, switches and connectors of the power tools for damage.
Have a specific safe and dry place to store your tools.
Keep your tools safe from harm, theft, rusting.
Keep your tools organized so you can easily access each one when you need it.
