Common Tool Problems and How to Fix Them
Now that you know why Hellgate Tool Repair is the best choice for fixing your tools, let’s dive into some common problems and how to solve them.
1. Broken Handles
Broken handles are a common issue with tools such as hammers and axes. To fix this problem, start by removing any remaining parts of the old handle. Then, measure the length of the handle and purchase a replacement made out of high-quality wood or fiberglass.
Next, drill a hole in the center of the new handle and insert it into the head of the tool. Secure it in place with screws or epoxy, depending on the type of tool.
2. Dull Blades
Dull blades are a common issue with tools such as knives and saws. To sharpen a dull blade, start by using a honing stone to remove any burrs or nicks. Then, use a sharpening stone to create a sharp edge.
Make sure to maintain the correct angle while sharpening, as this will affect the blade’s performance. Finally, use a leather strop to polish the blade and remove any remaining burrs.
3. Rusty Tools
Rust can be a major problem for tools made out of metal. To remove rust from your tools, start by using a wire brush to scrape off any loose rust. Then, apply a rust remover solution and let it sit for several minutes.
After the solution has had time to work its magic, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove any remaining rust. Finally, apply a coat of rust inhibitor to prevent future rusting.
Advanced Tool Repair Techniques
If you’re feeling confident in your tool repair skills, there are some advanced techniques that you can try.
1. Welding
Welding can be used to fix broken metal parts on tools such as shovels and rakes. To weld a broken part back together, start by cleaning the area around the break with a wire brush or sandpaper.
Then, use a welding machine to melt metal filler material onto both sides of the break. Make sure to wear protective gear during this process, as welding can be dangerous if not done properly.
2. Rebuilding Engines
If you have experience with small engines, you may be able to rebuild them yourself instead of taking them to a mechanic. This can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repair costs.
To rebuild an engine, start by disassembling it and inspecting all of the parts for damage or wear. Replace any damaged parts and clean the engine thoroughly.
Then, reassemble the engine according to the manufacturer’s instructions and test it to make sure it runs properly.
