Keep them clean, keep them sharp. Surprisingly, it's not that hard!

Pruning Tools

We recommend that you clean, sharpen, oil - in that order.

How Often?

It's a common question - how often should I sharpen my cutting tools? Short answer is, it depends how frequently you use your tools.

Here are recommendations based on frequent use; you can judge from there if you don't use your tools often.

Secateurs: every couple of weeks if you use them daily.

Shears: daily, or even throughout the day, when you’re using them intensively. Especially if clipping boxwood.

Saws: it is recommended that you don't sharpen impulse-hardened blades because it is difficult to do so without removing the extra hardness from the steel.
