Great job, the only thing I would add is put on some disposable gloves before, the chemicals and oils can be absorbed by our skin, our skin is our biggest organ, taking care our tools is a must and taking care of our bodies is also a must.
Very very good point. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 👍👍👍
A must have in my shop is a spray bottle of Krud Kutter. It is an excellent, mild water based cleaner/degreaser and also gets adhesives, glues and stickers off of items. Great for cleaning handles and plastics.
Almost lost it when you got to how “dirty” your dirtless tools are. I sure hope my son likes cleaning tools and guns this much, I’ll have a lot of work for him! Great video.
Lmao thank you. Glad you enjoyed. I hope my son is the same way
I searched for "how to clean dirty hand tools" and instead I've got "how to clean tools in pristine condition "
mar1video yes considering these tools were only about 6 months old at the time and since these were my home tools not my work tools I clean them after almost every job so they better look pristine. Also maybe try some of my suggestions or other suggestions in the comments first and see how it works. Then let me know how your tools look. Thanks for watching
TonyTheTechnician - your tools look great ! That was me looking for something else. I actually did use your method and cleaned my tools with WD40. Some of them I soaked overnight in the vinegar to get rid of rust.
Please keep uploading your videos. They are great looking, highly informative videos.
I apologize for a bit sarcastic tone. Normally I'm very happy, ( and OCD) , so seeing your attention to detail made me smile.
Keep up the good work !
mar1video thank you I’m really glad you enjoyed and enjoy the content. I hope the wd40 worked well for you. I have seen videos on the vinegar truck but never done it. Did it work well for you?
For the comfort grip style handles, I like to use a dish-style scotchbrite sponge and hot water with Dawn dishwashing detergent. Takes oil and grease off like nothing, but it doesn't degrade the handle material. Totally environmentally safe, too.
Harley Adam that is great to hear. Thank you for sharing your tips!
If by comfort grip you mean it's silicone rubber, then there is a trade off to be made. That rubber sweats out silicone oil over time, which can make it feel gooey and after a certain point, worse grip. Hot water and a LOT of dish detergent, is effective along with scrubbing action to remove that oil.
This makes the grip look good, and grip better for the time being, but that oil that was removed, NOT automotive fluids you got on them during a repair, it reduces the lifespan of the rubber and it will dry rot. I'm not talking about in a short # of years, but a good tool can last decades if the rubber doesn't fail.
> Totally environmentally safe
a) Daw[n] is manufactured by Proctor & Gambl[e] who have TERRIBLE company ethics, and;
b) it contains mineral oil (made from crude oil) which even a few drops can contaminate huge amounts of fresh water
But keep believing yourself
Regards
e: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procter_%26_Gamble#Controversies
n: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_(brand)
But they use it on ducks.
Thank you. Thats what I was looking for.
Great idea for professional mechanics or dad’s wanting to give their children a way to help after Doing a project. I would go one step forward and say that if you take the time to do something like this no matter who you are, when you have all your tools perhaps laid out on an old bath towel drying, take a photo and send it to your home and auto insurance in case your tools are ever stolen so you have proof of what you keep in your car or home!
I have been using Mothers mag polish on my Crome with great success, I have used this product for many years. Thank you for your videos.
Charles S very nice thank you for sharing!!!
I admire your attention to detail
Just did this the other day and my tools look amazing! Was able to give them a second life and I’m proud to own them once again.
RCTID nice that’s great to hear!!!
Spray nine works amazing on the rubber handles as well as the metal parts. But again rise and wipe them down completely. Nice advice on keeping tools clean. Great philosophy 👍🇨🇦
Thank you and thanks for sharing your thoughts as well 👍
Great job man! I am almost as bad as you, I haven’t used the Crome polish yet..... I can’t stand messy tools or disorganized tool boxes. I have friends that will just flip a wrench to over to me when I notice it’s been moved. Love seeing like minded people. Thanks for sharing
chris rupple haha ya it drives me crazy not being organized or clean. Thank you!!!
I work in aviation so we usually use isopropyl alcohol so I generally use it to clean my tools as well. For the chrome ones in sure it doesn't damage but for rubber/plastic grips will it dry it out eventually? I like the alcohol cause it really decreases well.
If anything can destroy the integrity of a mechanic, it's leaving greasy finger prints on a customer's car whether it be the body, interior, or shroudings in the engine bay. All greasy, dirty tools do is spread the madness. Unorganized tools thrown in piles tells the customer he's paying you to dig through your chaos. The car you work on is your customer's baby. Keep those tools sanitary and organized.
John Long exactly!! great point. it doesn't matter if you do the best damn job on the repair. if you dirty the car. that is what will be remembered!! Thank you
Excellent advice you give on keeping tools clean.
John Long thank you!!
J Wiz lmao damn. Well atleast you work effectively that's what really matters. I just like to keep mine clean. And I can't imagine working on an rv with white interior. I would be scared to touch anything I wasn't working on lol. Thank you for watching and commenting
TonyTheTechnician mistakes do happen and RV owners are rarely understanding. Even with the strictest tool cleaning regimen you still get very dirty on every job I’ve done on RVs cause under their skirts, they are still heavy line vehicles covered in muck, especially the diesels. How to clean mistakes from upholstery and flat interior paint is a video we really need. For instance, brake clean, the flammable kind, works wonders for getting grease out of cloth and off of surfaces assuming it’s not a surface that melts because of it.
I stopped using anti seize about 2 decades ago cause it gets everywhere and nothing I’ve found cleans it up.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I’ve watched 3 or 4 of them so far.
This is a great video! We are definitely sharing on social media!

To clean comfort handles, checkout a spray from CRC called 3-36. It leaves comfort grip style tools looking like the day it came off the truck. Protects them as well from corrosion.
Very nice. I'll check it out
Great tips. Shiny tools. Im wirking through mine to knock the rust off and the wd40 and 3-in-1 are what i use while doing that
Very nice. Ya it has done well to keep rust away. I also use those silica packs in my drawer just in case
Schaefer's Citrol works great on screwdrivers, comfort grips, I use it on all my tools.
George Lydakis ya I have heard that a lot. I’ll have to check it out!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great video bro. can i use part of your video here for my school learning project?
I always use Ballistol gun oil. It cleans AND lubricates at once.
And for screwdrivers, etc. I use ArmorAll plastic wipes. No writings ever came off.
The mad Viking #793 very nice. Thanks for sharing
I was recently made aware of Ballistol and have found it to be an excellent product to clean and protect tools. The Germans got this one correct, great product.
Working with High School students who don’t even clean their rooms! Tony says it in a very clear and straightforward way. They can’t miss it...unless they are on their phones, listening to music or just plain don’t care...sigh. Thanks!
Haha that's a very good point. Thank you I appreciate it 👍
Highschool student here (senior), I try to keep my tools in great condition and especially anyone else’s I use. I look at tools as an investment if you treat them good they’ll, treat you good and make you more money for a longer period of time or last longer for your projects or maintenance.
I’m for cleaning and taking care of tools, I draw the line at polishing them 😂😂 but to each their own!
what would you recommend for impact sockets? what about a silicone spray instead of your water displacement spray? what about soaking the in a small container with some of these sprays/cleaners? Do you have a buffing wheel and/or a small toothbrush to get in the cracks and crevices or smaller spaces. I guess I have another project to do in the garage. Cheers
I like your tool box lighting
If tools are really dirty I use a little carb cleaner and other times a 409 cleaner spray from Walmart or Taget and a rag does the job easily.
I use the turtle wax chrome polish too. Does it do any good for rust prevention?
Tony the tech ...what's up man ...u remind me so much of myself ... I am super ocd and my tools have to be organized ...and if anyone or myself pulls tools from my box they get set on my side cart so they can be cleaned before going back in my box ... It shocks me how much were alike man ... I even wax my box ...and ...and ... Dude I love the husky box man ... I really do ... I have one myself and would love to upgrade to that same box u have behind u ... Man u r my new favorite guy on u tube ...
Haha thank you. Really glad you enjoy. If you ever have video ideas or suggestions please feel free to let me know. Thanks for your support. I love to stay organized
I use simple green from Walmart they have the gallon jug of concentrate for $6 and you mix it with water in a spray bottle. I mix it 50/50 and I use it for everything from cleaning tools to cleaning plastic engine covers before I send them out of my bay hope this helps
Larry Storrs nice ya I have heard a lot of people recommending that
Flitz metal polish works great. Takes all oxidation away and makes metal shine. Used for years.
Snap Mac ya that stuff is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Love your videos 😍♥️
Emma thank you!!!
I got these kinda rough blue wipes forget what there called but they clean the crap out of some confort grips
If you apply 3-in-1 or any oil just after applying Wd40 thin coat, wd40 will neutralize the oil. as that's what is does! it will do it immediately if you use the same rag on which wd40 was sprayed to apply oil 😃 just wait for the wd40 to dry and eat any surface rust or grime, leave it for couple of hrs then apply 3-in-1 oil will work much better
what light is that in your toolbox i like that?
Do you have links to the different cleaning tools you used? or perhaps more specifically, the Gun Cleaning kit?
Adrian Edhouse the cleaning kit I got from Walmart a few years ago
Use baby wipes the ones they use on baby bottoms surprising how well grease comes off rubber handles and even sockets easy
devdas Devdas nice. I will try that
I just started wiping my wrenches down with PB Blaster, they look and smell great!
Morse Code Reviews haha very nice. ya the stuff works great for a quick clean!
What do you guys use on the snap on instinct handles? Brake clean leaves em all faded and powdery white looking and I've tried other stuff but it's the same result once it dries.
Seth C ya I try not to use brake clean on comfort grips. Wd40 is probably one of your best bets. Just got to make sure to wipe it dry so it’s not slippery
just like with MANY of my pew pews which sadly were lost in a boating accident... in the recreational water wonderland of ...Arifukknzona, i put many of them in the Dishwasher, with some Simple Green, sometimes on their own without the dishes if its a full load. tho i DO have a small safety kleen somewhere in storage
I use a red shop towel to wipe off excessive grease and trow them back in the drawer.
FrugalPrepper haha if that's what works for you. More power to you. Thank you!
That works if the only problem is grease. Removing grease, grime and any other fluids that accumulated is what I usually do as crudmium plated tools spread crudmium everywhere. Rust, however is another matter. It's not contagious but it's like cancer and will continue to rot the tool if it's not removed, and it will get under chrome and nickel finishes eventually flaking the finish off. I remove all rust immediately.
From a purely utilitarian point of view what he does is OK for simple tools like wrenches but it may diminish the life of more complex tools. I like all my tools clean regardless.
Me too.... only an unemployed mechanic has enough time and no life to go through their entire toolbox polishing tools
beri232 if only people could go into a shop😂😂😂
I just spray Ballistol onto a microfiber rag and wipe then down. Ballistol says it’s non toxic and makes for a good CLP.
Ya I have heard alot of good things about it. I might give it a try as well. Seems like alot of others enjoy it
Hi! My project is how to maintain and take care the tools, I'm a student so what should I do? 'Cause I can't do that..
yea i think the "before" tools still look pretty good!! i wouldn't even be cleaning them if they looked like that! hehe
Per Shop haha true. They didn’t really need it but I needed to use something for the video.
What would you recommend using on the black knipexs? I have a couple pairs with small rust spots but I don't want to damage the black coating.
If it's a black oxide then I would use like a rem oil or firearm oil since the black oxide is the same thing they use on firearms
Baby oil, works a treat.
Ever since 3 in 1 oil changed their formula, I find that it leaves a yellow film when it dries. I've switched to sewing machine oil for parts like this. It doesn't last as long, but it stays clean looking. And a gallon of sewing machine oil is pretty cheap on amazon.
BrookstonHoliday very nice. Thank you 👍🏻
I have some tools that have some Rust on them. I am wondering if you can recommend anything for removing rust. Thank you!
Alot of people recommend sitting them in white vinegar for a few hours then scrub them and put them back in over night
Great advice thanks. I’d have to say You def have a lot more time on your hands than most if you clean them that much. ;)
T K haha most the time I’ll just give them a quick wipe down with wd40 after finishing a job but if they are really bad then I’ll do a thorough cleaning
For comfort grips I use Armor All Cleaning Wipes. Works well.
Im mexican then i clean my oxid , rush tools whith vinegar, and looks super , Saludos from México
how do u make them shiny i have a bunch of snap on sockets i want to make them shine!
I’ve seen some great ideas in the comments, but I’ve had good results with Simple Green.
Same here. I use simple green at work as well
Goodjob!
Thanks 👍
Have you ever heard of or used Royal Purple Maxfilm? It's as versatile if not more versatile than WD-40. It'll replace WD-40 and your 3-in-1 oil for most applications. I even use it when cleaning my guns too.
Flash445 ohh very nice. No I’ve never heard of it but I will look into it. Thank you
Nice vid. Will over time cleaning the screwdriver rubber handles and ratchet comfort grips with WD40 dry up and deteriorate the rubber if you clean them lightly as shown? Thanks
No I haven't had that issue with wd40. I have with brake clean though. It works very well but definitely dries it out over time. Just with wd40 you have to try and wipe most of it away so it's not slippery
@@TonyTheTechnician I just cleaned several of my tools with wd40 and they look good as new! Thank you
@@vanquishstorm3806 no problem. Really glad you enjoyed and found it helpful
Thanks to you i have a answer to my online class
Haha nice. What was the question 👍
My tools are from the WWII era. I normally just wipe the spanner on my pants leg before sticking it back in the toolbox. They still look new.
Very nice!!
Would it be ok to use a diluted APC instead of WD-40?
fluid film works well for a lubricant
I use Marvel Mystery Oil to clean my tools. I wipe off the excess leaving a protective coating on them. I use super lube or red and tacky for the inside of ratchets or any metal bearing moving parts. 3in1 oil if something need lubed where grease isn't the best. I don't polish my tools....maybe when I first get them but polishing is removing metal, so after a while you will wear away the chrome....
Mr.Clean pads. Some Fast Orange. And water. Good stuff.
Great info. Thankyou... I hardly have enough time to polish my rocket better yet my tools.... But if I could, I would. Busy good, means I'm making $
Scott H haha it’s always good when your staying busy making money. Thank you for watching and commenting
OK bro 👍
what brand are the screwdrivers with the grey and black handle?
Those are from jegs
Hmm gun cleaning kit 😂😂 CLP. Great video, I did one kinda like it.
802 Diesel Crew lol you know I was planning on making this video like 2 weeks ago when I came across yours and I was like damn I can't post the same type of video at the same time. it would have been pointless. and I always used wd40, stainless steel wipes and chrome polish until I saw your video. I tested out the clp and it works amazing. especially on impact sockets. so I want to give you credit for the genius tip brother. Thank you!!!
TonyTheTechnician I told him to do it. Just wanted to see what he used. thanks Tony. I will watch others now as well
brandon berberet oh nice. Ya I had a few people request it as well. Thank you
how do you like those jegs screwdrivers?
the one they call AP they were good while I had them. And they are a good price
I use starter fluid or Spirits
great video brother they pliers look sweet btw
Kyle Fraser thank you!!
AWESOME
Steve Jobs thank you!
Ballistol is friendly to rubber, wood, leather etc.
what do you recommend to clean your hands
Jorge Villasenor 1st ayd wipes. They work really well
great video. I use WD and Chrome polish..most of the time I just use WD.
BEARDED YAKIN thank you! and ya same here. wd40 is just easier but when I have time I like to go through and polish everything. Thank you for watching and commenting.
TonyTheTechnician then I feel like I don't wanna use the tools or wanna take dirty gloves off before u pick tool up lol ocd is a bitch. my biggest issue is grinding dust everywhere from welding fabricating
chris jones haha ya I know how you feel!! I bet that would drive me insane lol
TonyTheTechnician.. I've also tried Windex and works good.
BEARDED YAKIN ya I know alot of people use Windex on there tool boxes just so they are covering them in a bunch of different chemicals.
For the handles, I'd just use cheap rubbing alcohol on a rag. It will remove dirt and kill germs, without leaving a tacky residue or bad smell like WD-40. For the metal parts of the tool, unless they're already showing signs of rust, you can skip the WD-40 and just use 3 N 1 Oil on them. Put the 3 N 1 on a rag and wipe down just the metal part of the tool.
@TonyTheTechnician wd40 even dry attracts dirt and grim, instead use their wd40 brand dry lube, drys almost instant and will not attract dirt.... I use chemical guy's VRP "vinyl rubber plastic" it cleans and protects those grips so well, lifts the dirt right out, uv protection, actually repels dirt and moisture that will make handles last much longer
Very nice. I actually have vrp. I might give that a try. Great suggestion thanks for watching 👍
Don't forget plasti dip to fix those worn out grips, they have all sorts of colors. Great vid hope all is well with the family enjoy your new son they grow up so fast
John Gibson thank you for watching and sharing your tips!! Ya I am loving the time with the family. Thank you!!!
I agree about the plastic dip stuff... That liquid electrical tape works good too... Heck it might be just about the same thing...
I just froze my 3/4” drive ratchet with Brake Clean last week. Need a better chemical!
Tub o Towels work great, give them a try. Great vid, thanks for posting.
Dwayne Denison thank you!!!
PENETRATING OIL FOLLOWED BY REM GUN OIL EFFECTIVE FOR OLDER TOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED
DEAN KOUKOS I also really enjoy rem oil. Works great. Thank you for sharing
Cheap ATF is great for cleaning and lubing tools.
great video man. I just use the 3 in 1.
brandon berberet Nice, thank you!!
Bro gun cleaner kit I’d probably need a licence for I’m in ontario Canada
Get Rights Bro
Have you experienced any corrosion on your handles using WD-40 or those oils
No I have not. I also coat my grill in wd40 since it sits outside with a cover on it and it's holding up very well.
@@TonyTheTechnician I appreciate that info. I'm kind of goofy. I clean my tools off every night and I'm a iron worker. Thanks for the great video and good tips.
Nothing wrong with that at all. I believe if you have the time then why not give them a wipe down 👍👍👍 I do that at home all the time bc I'm not in any rush to just throw things around and leave them dirty lol. After every job I do at home I wipe all the tools I used down and organize them.
@@TonyTheTechnician that's awesome. 😁 thank you again for the good info. Keep posting videos Man!
OCD- One Cool Dude
👍🤣👍
Tub O Towels work well
Indeed 👍
Neat. I remember using these.
David Young thank you!
I have been using Houdini Lock Lube to clean and protect against rust. Anyone else use it?
Get a set of stainless steel and brass brushes for $1.98 and get the rust out of the teeth on those CHEAP needle nose pliers!!
WD40, under their 3 in 1 range used to have a can of tool cleaner. It smelled nice and was the go to for cleaning after use. Sadly, after recently using it up, it seems they dropped that product. I couldn't find it on the shelves or online. It must not have been a great seller. I'm sad.
Oh dang I don't think I ever saw that one. That does stink that they stopped selling it
I use the same prosses wd-40 works wonder on rubber grips it makes them look brand new again. I use Scott's blue paper towels because they are slightly soft and won't scratch the surface unlike a shop rag will. using 3 in 1 is a great idea that I never thought of and I will use from now on. I love your videos you do an amazing job, keep it up.
towman 194 thank you I'm really glad you enjoyed and found the video useful. I also agree with you on the blue towels they are great for cleaning tools. Thank you!!
Does using WD-40 over time deteriorate the rubber comfort grip handles?
What would u recommend using to lube the insides of a ratchet? I was thinking fluid film.
pjm8047 White lithium grease. It works great in all temperatures, more specifically it won’t get thicc in the cold. Just don’t go overboard with it because too much could cause the gears to slip.
What chemical do you use to clean your tools
Most of the time I use wd40 bc it actually cleans really well and lubricates. If you get to much you just use a dry rag and wipe it down
How do you clean plastic on tools to make them look new? I hate it when you get pieces of plastic covered in sheetrock dust. It makes my drills look like shit even though its just the plastic body
Esteban Plascencia I use a rag with wd40 on it then a dry rag to wipe it down after. It works really well. Brake clean is amazing but a lot of stuff absorbs the brake clean and ends up making it worse. So I suggest staying away from that lol. Even though it does work good. I think wd works good
Ok. I thought cleaning grease and dust would be different, thanks
Dawn or dish soap is good for that gets grips clean strips grease and oil a heavily soaped rag
Are you still using this method? Anything else changed and are your tools still looking great?
mineral spirits works well, doesn't seem to hurt much either
JNJdestruction Nice! Thank you for your tip as well!
I use WD40 to clean my tools but not to lubricate them. If there's any built up crud I may spray the crap out with Gummout Carb Cleaner, but I try to avoid that stuff if I can. That's because I don't like how it dries out my hands. I know - use gloves. Well, I never do. I never, never, never leave a freshly cleaned tool dry. Lube it right away so that rust doesn't get started.
Exactly. That's what I use as well. Easy wd40 and wipe off
One other thing i do to help the ratchet last longer is take the head apart an replace the grease twice a year. They work smoother an it gets the metal dust out of it so the gears last longer.
Ron Heminger ya I do that as well. Thank you so much for watching and commenting
intro music is soft short though good video to the point
Vegetable Oil. Cheap, prevents rust, and shines.
Nice work man... I just use dry rag... But mine don't look as nice as yours...
Garrison Garage thank you!!
Blue Magic metal polish, Meguire's Cleaner Wax and old towels.
Seventh Circle Racing yes metal polish works great!!!
I couldn't possibly clean all my tools every month. It would take days 😉
Greg Brown haha that’s understandable 👍🏻
what kind of pistol is that on your tool box

Am I missing something or aren't you actually removing small amounts of Chrome by using polish like it's a wax polish is abrasive it's not for coating or protecting it's for buffing and removing thin layers of material to remove scratches not fill them wouldn't you be better off with some sort of mild solvent just to remove the grease and oil and a protective coating like some sort of wax I could be wrong it wouldn't be the first time just found your Channel loving it so far keep them coming
Use Ballistol oil and not WD 40 on plastic rubber handles, Ballistol is biodegradable and safe for rubber , plastics etc,and prevents rust. Do not use 3 in 1 as it has penetrating oil and unsafe for electrical also. Simonize chrome polish is best , wipe let it set and rub it off. Kerosene is good for getting grease off tools. Soak them and dissolves grease and leaves an oil residue lubricant.
