Proper Maintenance
No matter what type of tool storage system you have or plan to purchase, you need to take the necessary steps to maintain it.
- Clean tools. Wiping off dust and moisture from tools before placing them into your tool storage system can help prevent rust from forming on your tools. Use a dry cloth to wipe them off. If you have grime or grease on your tools, use a degreaser.
- Wipe up wood dust. Clean off dusty tools before placing them back into the tool storage system, and wipe down the interior with a dry cloth. By not doing this, it can attract pests such as termites.
- Lubricate often. Lubricating your tool storage system doesn’t require a lot of work. Simply spray WD-40 on any moveable parts. This can help prevent movable parts from rusting.
- Wax and polish. Regularly waxing and polishing the exterior and interior can help prevent rust from forming. Try not to store tool storage systems in damp, cool places. If you’re keeping it in a basement or garage, make sure to use a dehumidifier to draw moisture from the air.
