Power tools are an investment. A little regular care prevents breakdowns, keeps performance sharp and saves you money. Follow these seven habits.
1. Clean after every use
Blow out dust and wipe down housings. Dust clogs vents and overheats motors — the number one cause of early failure.
2. Keep vents clear
Never block the cooling vents while working. Overheating kills motors fast.
3. Check carbon brushes
Worn brushes cause weak power and sparking. Replace them before they damage the motor.
4. Lubricate moving parts
A drop of oil on chucks, gears and pivots keeps everything smooth and rust-free.
5. Store batteries properly
Store lithium batteries half-charged in a cool, dry place. Don't leave them fully drained for months.
6. Inspect cords and bits
Replace frayed cords immediately and keep bits and blades sharp — dull bits strain the motor.
7. Use the right tool for the job
Forcing a tool beyond its rating burns it out. Pick the correct tool from our power tools range.
Bottom line: ten minutes of maintenance a week can double a tool's life. Genuine tools, spares and warranty are all available at El Rayes with cash-on-delivery across Egypt.
