The team at Montgomery’s Building Supplies knows that once you’ve purchased a quality set of power tools that gets the job done right, you’ll want to hold onto them for as long as you can. The Warsaw, NY, store carries top-notch tools, hardware, and building materials, but they know that even the very best tools will work better and last longer with a little extra care.

To help their customers extend the life of their tools, the team from Montgomery’s Building Supplies has some maintenance tips:

• Clean Power Tools Regularly: Over time, dust and debris can build up in the crevices of your power tools, which can cause them to work harder than needed and drain their lifespan. Be sure to wipe them down with a microfiber cloth after use, removing any particles that have built up. Remember to grease any components as needed, too.
• Care For The Battery: Any cordless tools you have will work optimally and last the longest if you take special care to be mindful of the battery. Keep batteries charged, and never run it down completely. Always store cordless tools in a dry environment, and use them regularly to extend battery life.
• Store Tools Properly: Even if your tools aren’t battery-operated, it’s important to keep them dry. A cool, dry environment is the best place to store your power tools, but keep in mind that they shouldn’t be exposed to sub-zero temperatures for long periods of time. During the winter time, it may be wise to transfer tools from your shed to the garage, where it’s warmer.
