Keeping this handy tool in top shape
Storage matters more than people think. Keep this handy tool in a dry spot where it will not get knocked around, and make sure it is fully dry before putting it away. Moisture trapped in drawers or cabinets is what causes odors and wear over time.
Avoid extreme heat sources unless the tool is designed for them. Even heat-resistant materials last longer when they are not routinely pushed to their limits — treat the maximum rating as a ceiling, not a target.
For deeper cleaning, warm soapy water handles almost everything. Avoid abrasive scouring pads on any coated or polished surfaces, since scratches shorten the life of the tool far more than normal use ever will. When in doubt, the gentler cleaning method is the right one.
