how do you take care of your tools? I notice that my tools, such as my
anvil lopper and shears rust easily if they are placed in the garage. I
don't
have another place where I can store those tools.
is there a spray that would prevent them from rust?
what would be a solution to prevent rust?
Wipe them down to remove any dirt, and if you've been pruning any diseased
material a squirt of rubbing alcohol wouldn't hurt, then give them a light
spray of WD40.

WD-40 is good for short term use, but too light for lasting effects. A
heavier grade oil would be better.
