Step 1
Safety
Tip! If your garden tools have moving parts, make sure you disassemble them first before cleaning.
Step 2
Soaking
Alternatively, you can soak the rusted parts in a container with some WD-40 Specialist® Rust Remover Soak to melt away the rust.
Step 3
Sanding
Tip! Use sandpaper to remove remaining rust residue on the surface as well as lightly polish the metal.
Step 4
Preparing
Once you have cleaned and removed unwanted rust, it is time to sharpen the pruners. Use a whetstone for a sharp cutting edge.
Step 5
Sharpening
Rub the bevelled side of the blade against the whetstone. In a curved motion, rub the sharp edge of the blade towards the stone.
Step 6
Safety
Tip! Also use a single-cut mill bastard file after the grits. Make sure you always push the file away from your body.
Step 7
Spraying
Spray a fair coat of theWD-40® Smart Straw® onto the surface of your garden tools before wiping them away with a clean rag to prevent corrosion and rust.
