Outdoor Tool Storage

outdoor-toolsAs winter approaches, here are a few tips on storing lawn mowers weed whackers, and other summer power equipment. Drain gas tanks, disconnect spark plug wires, clean any grass, wood chips, etc. from housings, mower decks, chain guides and so on. This is also a good time to perform any maintenance. Change the oil and air filters. Move the equipment to a clean, dry place for storage. Always clean gardening tools before storage. Simply hose them off, and/or use a dry scrub brush to knock off any dirt or mud. Dry the tools off and coat them with a light oil. Leaving gardening gloves and boots around the garage is an open invitation for wasps, bees, spiders, etc. Instead, store them in a closed container.
