No more splinters
Gardening may be a tough job, and the force you apply to your tools may cause the wood handle to splinter. No one wants to stop their work to tend to a splinter in their fingers. Especially if they are brand new, you shouldn’t be afraid of using your tools.
Did you know you can avoid cutting your hand by spraying some WD-40 on the handle and then cleaning it with a dry cloth? It will help smooth the wood surface and prevent you from getting injured when holding your tools.
