The condition of your tools, is a reflection of yourself as a professional.Customers see dirty un -cared for tools and think you have no pride.Nice clean tools produced from tool bag shining and smelling of WD40...will gain your customers respect.Many times when I have worked with other tradesmen in peoples houses they borrow your tools to do their job...what does that tell you about them !!........Gaz

I have a bucket of water with me on the job and cleen as i go, if i stop for lunch i just put everything in the water so they don't dry out, at the end of the day i cleen everything out over the grid on the street making sure i dont leave a white stain

I have a habit of working too close up to the point when I need to leave the house, so too often I go home with dirty tools, then have to be cleaning them up at home in the dark, or early morning :lol:

You dont clean tools with WD40, you spray and smear it on all steel tools,trowels,wet and dry cutters etc...it prevents rusting......Gaz
