If you take care of your tools they will be able to take care of the job when you need them.

Tips For Taking Care Of Your Tools
Inspect and Clean Every Tool
You should get into a routine of cleaning and wiping down every tool after use before returning it to it's proper storage place. Not only does this ensure that every tool is clean and ready for the next job but it also gives you an opportunity to inspect each tool to make sure there are no defects, nothing is broken or worn and the tool is fit for future purpose.
NOTE:
You should always repair or replace any tools that show signs of damage. Failing to do so could result in a serious accident.
Store Tools Correctly
A proper storage setup is a must for anyone that owns hand tools. Not only does storage ensure that every tool is accounted for and has its own place, it also ensures that all of your tools are protected, either from being lost, stolen or damaged due to outside elements.
