There’s nothing like a new tool. The feel in your hand. High performance.

But over time, how do you keep your tools in tip-top shape?

Below are some ideas of what you can discuss with your team, administration, committee, board, etc.:

• What does “taking care” of tools mean? (such as cleaning, storage, checking in/out, proper use, etc.)
• Does everyone on staff value “taking care” of tools?
• Is there enough time in the day to “take care” of tools?
• What is the procedure for when a tool has damage?
• When are tools ‘retired’?

About the series. Each month, a site and facilities question will be posed that you can discuss with your staff.
