VIDEO: How to Restore Tools The Way My Grandpa Taught Me
We are going to be restoring some garden tools, and in this video I will show you how to do it the way my Grandpa taught me.
Cheap tools can be dangerous. Dull knives are the one that cut you
I just bought it from your store. I'm so excited
This was the exact video I needed. Thanks Luke!
5% white wine veinegar I heard is good.
Not tried it yet but have a few overly rusted metal instruments needing serious cleaning.
So, what we have here is a very sharp blade and an oily handle. What could possibly go wrong with that??
Awesome ,thank you!!!!!
Thank you
I use vinegar or apple cider to remove rust, you can use also coca-cola
I very much miss my paternal Grandparents. My European Grandma was wise in the ways of gardening & health way ahead of her time. I was recently given a pair of long bladed rusted vintage trimmers, I'm going to try restoring them using your method. Thanks!
Great info! Thx!
After using any tool I always clean and wipe them off. Always clean all dirt and soil from your garden tools it will help from rusting. My father taught me to return a borrowed tool cleaner than you received it. Great video ,take good care of your tools .
I planted a pineapple last yr when u ran a video about it. It has grown like mad & I’m wondering if I need to transplant it? U said in ur video to plant it in a small container, & I did. Since it has grown so much I’m wondering wether to leave it or transplant????
Maybe “how to maintain a tool” would have been a better fit.
The problem with buying tools that are 'made to last a lifetime' is that by the time you can afford them we're talking about somebody else's lifetime.
Boiled linseed oil is the best to put on wooden handles to maintain. It also helps keep wooden handles from splitting or splintering.
If you should be fortunate to inherit some of your grandparents garden tools, hang onto, treasure and restore them. They are much better made and have been tweaked with years of use and sharpening into keen tools! I have 3 garden hoes that belonged to my folks. The blade had been worn and sharpened down to awesome little in close weeders and cultivators! : )
Thanks Luke – this is very useful information – i'm not very good at caring for my tools, but this inspires me.

U talk too much!
That was great, Luke! I can’t believe how easy and how great the results are!! It really is true that you can always buy a new one every year, but why? Just get better quality and keep it in good shape. Thanks
I use used motor oil and sand to restore shovels and rakes etc. I leave the oil on over the winter then clean it off for the spring. It is simple and cheap.I also use the oil for wood fencing as a preservative it stands up for years against the elements. The oil is absorbed into the wood and delays rot for years.
Don't forget linseed oil is combustible. so be VERY CAREFUL! with possible spills!
Great video! You just saved me some tools!
I've read the BLO should only be stored in metal containers. The one in your link is plastic. Maybe a different one would be better?
Great history with your grandfather passing his tips to you. Loved the video! Ty vm
Thanks
My grandpa would drop things into Coke to remove rust!
AWESOME! Thank you!
