to remove loose debris. For harder, caked
on debris, go for a stiff wire brush, then wipe them
down with a moist cloth.
Sharpening Your Tools - Sharp tools will make better
cuts and require less effort to power through cuts.
Use a file to make 4-5 passes on the cutting side
of the blade (beveled) and once on the flat edge to
remove metal burrs. It takes only a few seconds but
will help keep your tools cutting like new.
TIP: Sharpening might be one of the most important
tasks for maintaining your pruning tools. You can also
apply the same principle to digging tools. Sharpening
your shovels and hoes will help you cut through hard
soils and roots easier, too.
