Choose the right tool for your job. Tools that are not made for the exact job you are doing can cause accidents. They are also more likely to be damaged if not used properly – for example, your wrench may be heavy and could be used as a hammer, but it was not designed for that purpose, and you could damage your tools, the tools you are using or yourself.

Check your tools. Before embarking on any project, make sure all your tools are in good working order. Check for any damage or defects — if you’re not sure, err on the side of safety by repairing or replacing your tools.

Always choose high-quality hand tools. Poor quality tools can break when you use them, leading to a higher chance of hurting yourself and damaging or damaging the project you’re working on. Quality tools not only last longer, but also perform better, giving you the best chance to perfect every job.

Take care of your tools. Take care to maintain your tools and make sure they are properly cleaned after each use. Store your tools in a dry, safe area and organize them properly to avoid dents, scratches, and other accidental damage。

Do not modify or change your tools. Even if you think the hazards don’t apply to you, don’t remove or change any of them — all guards and safety devices are there for a reason. You should also avoid painting or covering your tools, as this can cause chips and cracks in your tools to go unnoticed.

Don’t try to repair tools yourself. There are many shops and technicians specializing in tool repair. These experts have knowledge that you may not know and will avoid mistakes you might make while forewarding further damage to your tools.
