How to Maintain Your Tools 

Extend the Life of Your Tools with These Simple Tips

Proper tool maintenance is the key to ensuring reliable performance and a long service life. Whether you’re a professional tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, well-kept tools work better, last longer, and save you money in the long run. At Kiprim, we design our tools for durability — and with the right care, you can keep them in top condition for years.

1. Keep Your Tools Clean After Every Use

Dust, dirt, and debris can reduce efficiency and cause wear over time.

• Wipe down surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• For power tools, use compressed air to clear dust from vents and moving parts.
• Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage plastic or rubber components.

Kiprim Product Tip: After each use, wipe your Kiprim ES5 Electric Screwdriver to remove dust from the grip and motor vents. This simple step keeps the screwdriver running smoothly and prevents motor overheating.

2. Store Tools in a Dry, Organized Space

Moisture is the enemy of metal tools, causing rust and corrosion.

• Store tools in a toolbox, storage case, or cabinet.
• Use silica gel packs or moisture absorbers to keep humidity low.
• Keep power tools in their original Kiprim carrying case for extra protection.

Kiprim Product Tip: Store your Kiprim GD02 DC Power Supply in its padded case to prevent accidental drops and exposure to humidity, ensuring long-lasting precision performance.

3. Lubricate Moving Parts Regularly

Friction causes premature wear on mechanical components.

• Apply light machine oil to hinges, gears, and bearings.
• Check manufacturer guidelines (including Kiprim manuals) for recommended lubricants.
• Wipe off excess oil to prevent dust build-up.

Kiprim Product Tip: For Kiprim ES3 Electric Screwdriver, occasionally apply lubricant to the chuck and gears to maintain smooth rotation and torque consistency.

4. Check for Wear and Damage

Routine inspections can help prevent costly repairs.

• Look for cracks, frayed cords, or loose screws.
• Replace worn-out parts like drill bits, saw blades, or batteries.
• For Kiprim tools, always use genuine replacement parts for optimal performance.

Kiprim Product Tip: Inspect your Kiprim LV3D Laser Level regularly. Replace batteries with original 2400 mAh Lithium batteries and check the laser lens for scratches to maintain accuracy.

5. Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions

Every tool has unique care requirements.

• Read the Kiprim user manual before use and follow safety guidelines.
• Avoid pushing tools beyond their rated capacity.
• Use the correct accessories for the task at hand.

Kiprim Product Tip: When using the Kiprim GD02 DC Power Supply, set voltage and current within recommended limits to prevent damage to your electronics projects.

6. Keep Batteries Healthy (For Cordless Tools)

Rechargeable tools need proper battery care for maximum lifespan.

• Fully charge before first use.
• Avoid deep discharges; recharge when battery level is low.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Kiprim Product Tip: For Kiprim ES2 Cordless Screwdriver, always remove the battery after work and store separately in a cool place. This prevents overheating and prolongs battery lifespan.
