Maintaining Your AV Snips
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure that your AV Snips continue to perform at their best. Here are some tips for keeping your tools in top condition:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the blades with a soft cloth to remove debris or residue after each use. This prevents build-up that can dull the blades.
- Lubrication: Apply a light oil to the pivot point and blades periodically to reduce friction and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store your snips in a dry, secure place to protect them from moisture and damage.
- Sharpening: If the blades become dull, sharpen them with a fine file or honing stone to restore their cutting edge.
