Tools are expensive so we must use them well and take good care of them. Tools can cause accidents if safety rules are not followed. Tools should be maintained properly so that they last longer. Some ways of taking care of them include sharpening tools like pangas, jembes, and knives for easy use. Some tools require proper usage for what they are made for.
Those that are made of sharp edges require a file. A file is used for sharpening blunt edges. Some tools become worn out due to frequent movement of their parts. Others due to contact with water they rust. To prevent rusting paint is applied.
