Keeping your power tools in tip-top shape is the best thing
that you should do to keep it running and to increase its lifespan. It is also
an assurance that it will always be ready in times that you need it.
So, these are three simple things to do:
Remove the dust!
Removing the dust does not only keep your tool look new but
it also prevents your tool from overheating. This is true especially when you frequently
clean the exhaust fan. You can also brush and vacuum the dust.
Lubricate it!
Your tools have metal parts. Every now and then you should
consider oiling them slightly especially those moving parts. In a drill, oil
the drill bit to keep it sharp and in good running condition.
Check the Cords
Always wipe the cords, keep it clean and always check for
damaged insulators. This is highly important because damaged insulators can
cause electric shock which is fatal. Also, check if the plugs are in good
condition and is not loose.
Store it Properly
Store it in a cool dry place. It is advisable if you still
have the original cases to avoid dust and rusting.
Brand
Before buying a power tool, you should always keep in mind
of the brand. Buy trusted brands like Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch or Hitachi. Search
the internet for reviews and compare all their performances.
