by Akhtar Khan

Introduction 

Investing in power tools is a decision that pays off in the long run. Whether you’re a seasoned contractor, a workshop enthusiast, or a DIY lover in Pakistan, taking good care of your tools is key to making them last and work efficiently. So, let’s dive into some straightforward, practical tips to help you keep your power tools in excellent condition.

Clean After Every Use

Dust, metal shavings, and debris can really mess with your tools, clogging vents and potentially causing damage. So, after each use, make sure to: - Wipe down your tools with a soft cloth. - Use compressed air to clear out vents and moving parts.

Pro Tip: If you’re working in construction sites around Karachi, Lahore, or Faisalabad, your tools will need a bit more TLC due to all that dust.

🛢️Lubricate Moving Parts

Friction can wear out your tools faster than you think. To keep things running smoothly, apply machine oil or the lubricants recommended by the manufacturer on:

  • Gears
  • Bearings
  • Joints

Make it a habit to lubricate every 1–2 weeks if you’re using the tool often.
