Tool Inspection

Hello again, this article is to tell about your tool, how to clean them and keep them in shape so you can use them safely and in the correct way.

Always inspect your tools before you try to use them, no matter what the tool is. Like don't use a screwdriver that has a broken blade tip. Make sure that the edge tip is square to the shank of the screwdriver. If the tip is broken or worn down. It is time to repair or replace it.

You can either file a new tip to square it up, or if you are proficient with a grinder then do so. Just remember that using a grinder on a screwdriver will heat the tip up very quickly. If the tip gets hot enough it will take the temper of the steel. Which will cause problems, like stripping out the slots on straight slot screws, or the screwdriver will continually slip out of the slot.

No more than they cost nowadays, they can be replaced cheaply and quickly.
