Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tools arrive ready for immediate use. To ensure the longevity of your Spear & Jackson set, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: After every use, wipe the stainless steel heads with a damp cloth to remove acidic sap or soil. Dry thoroughly before storing.
- Handle Maintenance: Periodically treat the hardwood handles with a light coating of linseed oil to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Always store your tools in a dry, covered area, such as a garden shed or garage, to protect the FSC-certified wood from moisture and sunlight degradation.
- Sharpening: If the trowel edge becomes dull over time, use a fine-grit sharpening stone to restore the edge, ensuring you maintain the original factory angle.
