rusty tools
Rusty tools are hand-held implements that have developed a reddish-brown coating due to oxidation. This process occurs when metal is exposed to moisture and air over time. Common examples of rusty tools include hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches. Rust can weaken the metal, making the tools less effective and potentially unsafe to use.
To prevent rust, it is important to store tools in a dry place and regularly clean them after use. If tools do become rusty, they can often be restored through methods such as sanding, using rust removers, or applying protective coatings. Proper maintenance can extend the life of gardening tools and power tools.
