Why preserve tools (chainsaw, grinder, screwdriver, etc.) in winter in an unheated garage, in the country

Colds set in. The question arises: how to preserve, store tools in the country or in an unheated garage? You want to keep a grinder, chainsaw, drill, hammer drill, screwdriver and other tools for a long time.

Now everyone has several power tools. Carrying home is not an option. The wife will not be delighted. I would not want to leave it unattended at the dacha either. Someone can "tidy up" a power tool (trimmer, chainsaw, etc.).

There is such an option: bring everything into one room in the country and install video surveillance. But this is an expensive pleasure. You can put an expensive tool into plastic bags and then into a metal box, locking it with a lock.

Many people say that it is impossible to store tools in an unheated room (cottage, garage). Due to the change in humidity, the metal is oxidized. This can shorten the service life of the tool. Is it so?

The benzokosa will “overwinter” well until the next season, if the leftovers are drained and prepared. It is necessary to drain the gasoline, clean off the grass, dirt. Do not store the tool with the spark plug unscrewed (dirt will get into the combustion chamber). It is better to store the petrol cutter in a suspended state.

How to keep the welding machine cold? Many people complain that it is inconvenient to carry it to the garage every time if you need to brew something. They ask: is it possible to leave the device in the cold in the garage? The inverter is not afraid of frost, but it will short if it is turned on immediately from frost in a warm room. If you need to work as a welder, then you should dry it. This applies not only to chainsaws, but also to other electrical appliances. Conclusion: The inverter can be stored in an unheated room.

It is also recommended to remove the filter parts for storage in a cold room and put them tightly in cellophane. This is to ensure that the filters are not saturated with moisture and deteriorate prematurely.

Drills, taps are well kept in a box. Only put an oiled cloth on the bottom. If it is stored for a long time, then it is better not to be lazy and wipe each drill.

It is strictly forbidden to store cordless tools in the cold. Rather, the battery itself, as it loses its functionality.

I do not preserve a grinder, drill, hammer drill. In winter I use them in the same way as in summer. The only thing I do: I clean and grease after work (every other time).

I bought a good lubricant. The cheap one is bad for the durability of the tool. If the tools are from bosch or Makita, then I buy grease from this company.

Outcome: Power tools will not deteriorate from storage and cold operation. No preservation required. The only thing is that they are afraid of condensation, which appears due to temperature differences.
