Garden Tools

Keep your garden tools looking new.

Things you will need

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.
