I found this article on HGTV's website and thought it would be great to share since the Fall season is upon us.

Treat your tools well and they will last far longer. Before you tuck them away for the winter, wash off crusted dirt and chemicals, to prevent rusting. Sharpen and oil your tools, adding linseed oil to wooden handles to prevent cracking. Other tool maintenance ideas:

• Drain gasoline from power tools and make sure air filters are clean before storing.
• Drain gasoline from your mower, change the oil, grease the engine, and change the spark plug if it needs it.
• Drain your rain barrel.
• Change the oil in your rototiller and sharpen the tines.
• Clean and degrease your grill.
