Re: Cleaning Bonsai Tools
this is an old thread i guess - but i just had to reply for all the tool abusers out there....
Listening to you guys keeping your tools all neat and clean and oiled...wow
I have never cleaned a bonsai tool other than in a bucket of water or with an old rag...i have never oiled a tool with wd40 or anything else. My tools mostly live outside 24-7 all year but sometimes they get thrown in the tool tub. I have dug up bonsai tools that got lost under repotting soil weeks after i lost em. I have never bleached or sanatized a tool yet.
I wonder why my husband has banned me from the tool shed.
My advise on this matter of tool maintenance is thus...buy the best quality stainless steel laminated tools that you can afford and be done with it.
oh yeah, i do use my shears to cut wire too...
yours in tool maintenance
