How to Clean Hand Tools:

  • Dish soap to tackle oil and grease
  • Large bucket for hot water and dish soap solution.
  • Scrubber, scrub brush, or steel wool to further clean away any dirt.
  • Cloth to wipe down your tools.

Cleaning Power Tools:

  • wipe dirt and other particles from the outside casing with a good cleaning cloth.
  • Compressed air is the best option to clean the particles from the tool's vents; cleaning your tool's exhaust vents with a brush could push the dirt farther into the tool and inadvertently cause more damage later.
