Where would we be without our trusty gardening tools? Treat them to a little bit of TLC and they should last for many years.
Winter’s the perfect time of year to service your tools ready for the next growing season. Cultivation tools as well as pruners will benefit from a good sharpen as well as a clean, and this is the ideal time to look over your hard-working tools to make sure they’re in tip-top condition.
In this short video we show you how to clean, sharpen and oil your tools so they remain as good as new for many years to come.

I've also used a paste made of baking soda and water to remove rust. These techniques were described under topics related to preparing metal surfaces for painting.
REMEMBER: Vermin love cooking oil!
Good Info, Thanks!
Hello and congratulations. I love to watch all your videos. I have a different tip to clean out the rust of your tools. You can soak them over night on vinegar and all the rust will came of easily. Then wipe them with oil after sharpening them of course if is needed.
Great tips and I wish I kept my tools as nice as you do. I have found that the tools I let to for a winter can be cleaned up by soaking them in a bath of Vinegar. Sometimes it takes overnight, but using a light brush afterwards with a wire brush like you said, it takes the rust off and they look as good as new. I use this method with my pliers and other tools in the work shed also. They can then get the coating of veg oil. I just wish I bought better garden tools, but here in the US, you pay a lot for cheap products that don't last unfortunately.
this guy sounds like a typical house hunters narrator
great video where can I buy a sharpen stone and is there another name or just s stone ☺
I only really started gardening last year. Didn't even know I had to sharpen a shovel before I found some YouTube gardening channels. Imagine my surprise. My entire life was a lie. 🙂
They just don't seem to teach important things like caring for garden tools in school anymore. Great video. Thanks for all the fantastic advice.
Thank you! I received this email from you tube about sharpening tools and it was right on time. I was getting ready for spring and my tools were very very dull and I wasn't sure how to sharpen and keep them functional. Great tip. I can't believe how much time I saved. Also, I'm "up in age" and your tips helped my perform my landscaping with a whole lot less effort. Thanks Again.
enjoyed your video
I clean my tools after everytime I use them and at the end of the season I wipe all wooden handles with Linseed oil
I would respectfully encourage you to learn proper use of a file. The way you're using it is, choosing my words carefully here, wrong.
I'd also echo earlier comments about your use of WD-40 as a lubricant, which it is not, and your dramatic overuse with gobs of spillage of a petroleum product despite saying earlier in the video not to use petroleum products.
Also use wet n dry paper (emery paper) on secateurs – great to remove dried sap!
very helpful
Haahahhahahahahahhahahaha lol
