Sorry to those hoping for a tool haul today. I was a bit under the weather this week and crunched for time. These wipes work great for me. They cut through dirt and grease fast, and easy. They also are incredible for cleaning your hands if you need to wipe up quick. I would like to hear what works well for you! Thank you for the continued support!
Love that Tub-o-Towels. Now, when the handles are get "hard", such as it happens to screwdriver handles, due to age and contact with shop chemicals, my Auto Mechanic teacher in HS taught me a good little trick that I've used for over 40+ years: Mix 1/3 Vaseline & 2/3 mineral oil in a little sprayer. Spray & clean. Somehow it "revives" the handles.
Thanks for the tip! I find a lot screwdrivers you describe, I will check out the method you mentioned. I think a lot of people use brake clean on their tools, I wouldn't recommend. Thanks for watching!
I was taught that if you take care of your tools, your tools will take care of you. I personally think that if you respect your tools, you respect yourself and the quality of workmanship you perform. Attention to detail speaks volumes of a craftsman.
I couldn't agree more! I expect them to get dirty, but the tools like I show in the video, have been dirty for many years. They are meant to be used but they cost too much to treat them like trash. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! I am listing 30 years of tools and these have been awesome! Way more productive and better results than my typical shop towel and spray cleaner method and 1/4 the time! Tub-o-Towels owes you a 📦 but even just a few tubs for this purpose would last 4-ever. Last long time and VERY effective - just the right amount of scrub and toughness and do not lint all over everything and the active ingredient is not harsh but actually works and works well! Evapo-Rust and Tub-o-Towels is best tool renovators and your hands don’t hate you 😂
Cleaning wipes are definitely the way to go. I highly recommend the Blue Monster brand of hand wipes(as well as their Teflon tape(best in the industry) & pipe dope) as I’ve been using them for 10+ years now. Also, keep a spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol on your bench as a secret weapon; cuts through and breaks down all grease & residues.
My family just threw tools anywhere and maintained cars poorly. I have slowly learned by watching tradesmen and vids like this to love maintaining the tool as much as what you work on it with.
Try using Pears (glycerine) soap with warm water. Suds it up and leave it for 5 minutes. It works better at removing grease than anything else I've ever tried- and it's cheap.
I do use WD40 to clean steel all the time. It does seem to protect even though some people say it will cause rust... not in my experience. Thanks again!
Tub-o-Towels are fantastic for cleaning my hands and then I use them to wipe down my tools. I’m a pipe fitter and my wrenches get filthy with cutting oil and pipe dope!
My dad was an A/A-A&P aircraft engineer and mechanic, and he used Simple Green and those old red shop rags. I trust my tools though, to Tub-O-Towels (they're amazing), and thats all i clean them with usually. I also use a fluid film on them.. that along with the grease they naturally get on them from working on cars/trucks/RV's/motorcycles/lawn mowers/guns/etc, keeps my large collection in decent order and shape!
Good info. I wrench on cars as a hobby. Any of the tools used never go back into the tool chest unless they get a good wipe down. Nothing more annoying than reaching for a tool to do a small job and getting your hands all dirty for no reason.
Thanks for sharing! I have been using an all purpose cleaner in a spray bottle and then wipe with a towel. Essentially the same thing. But those wipes look convenient.
I have used a number of methods over the years. The day I tried this one is the day I stopped using the others, LOL. It may cost a hair more in the long run but it is very convenient. I usually wait until I have a pile to do at once so I don't waste wipes. Thank you for watching!
I keep a wrag soaked in gojo. When my hands get greasy I use wrag wipe my hands clean over and over. It works really wel ll and it cleans tool better than anything I've seen. I keep my impacts and drill looking new.
Great for hands, especially if you're in the field and need to clean up a bit before eating or greasing up the steering wheel in your new truck. Thanks for watching!
@@thetoolbandit I use to be on a service truck. Industrial work. Grease even caulking if caught before curing. They also make some with slight abrasive that takes paint off hands too. I have both. Well worth having in truck. I’m retired now but still have them in my little work shop.
I use awesome cleaner sold at Dollar General or Home Depot. It doesn't contain harsh chemicals safe on almost everything. It also degreases your shop floor.
I have used all-purpose cleaners in the past, like Simple Green. They do work well but this works the best of the methods I have tried so far. Do you know the name of the one you use? Thanks for watching!
@@thetoolbanditThe name of the product that he is referring to is, “LA’S TOTALLY AWESOME “ it’s surprisingly inexpensive. I just bought my first jug of it.
@@thetoolbandit I'm going to try them out and see for myself. My neighbor used to clean his extension cords in the shop with Fantastic. It cut right through any dirt or grease that got on the cord.
They really do work great! I just trying them for the heck of it one day and was blown away how quickly they worked. Great idea for storing one that is only slightly used. Thanks for watching!
i almost think it's a combination of grease dust and stuff that comes out of the plastic itself...I've had these types of handles get dirty from not even barely being used...the wipes is cool simple idea idea...i've used wd40 but it can remove some of the printed logos etc.
Some plastics break down over time, people with older Craftsman screwdrivers will see that issue. If I wipe things down with oil they will attract more dust over time. Thanks for watching!
Always found WD40 did the trick. But, how could you let your tools get in such poor shape? Glad to see your taking care of them. That Tub-O-Towels seems to also do a great job, and it looks quicker than WD40
Evapo-Rust is your best friend!! I soak a tool in the Evapo-Rust and then if anything is left after a wipedown, I hit it with the small wire brush attachments in either one of my drill presses or hand drill.
I buy 5-10 lbs of bulk citric acid at a time. Last me for years. Then I fill a suitable container. My preference is all black Sterilite storage containers. All black matters because I let it sit outside. Goal is to keep the solution above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Above 90 really makes things move right along. A quarter cup citric acid per gallon of water is more than enough. I'll add 1-2 oz of Zep Industrial Purple Degreaser per gallon of solution. Zep It is not required to work, but it acts as a surfactant and I'm leveraging the sodium hydroxide with the acid to both reduce the pH while improving chelating properties. My old man is a retired farmer. This summer I started gathering all his tools up. Running over them with a pressure washer to remove dirt grease, etc. Toss them in the bin with the solution in the morning. By 11 am everything can come out, and another pressure wash. These are tools that have ridden in dirt loaded tool boxes for as long as I've been alive. Chrome is rubbed through on many. They come out looking perfect except for the missing chrome. Then I cote them with Boesheld T9 or clear coat.
Snap sells tool wipes and there around the same price as what you use but I’ve used both and both work about the same the snap just lasts longer in my opinion
Unfortunately I don't work in a shop, no dealer, so I have never tried them. The wipes on their website part# WOD5020 are $31 plus $20 shipping (4x the price of TO'T after shipping) not sure if those are the ones you are talking about. At that price I can't try them out, if I run into a dealer one day I will! Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching!
What is your opinion on Simple Green (Heavy Duty version)? I already use it for cleaning the pitch from bits and blades and it is supposedly non-toxic to the brazing of the carbide teeth. The only concern I have for any solvent based solution is the breakdown of the tool handles over time.
For tool handles I used Simple Green for a long time and it worked well. Never noticed a problem. Once I used these wipes I no longer use Simple Green for this job. I mainly use Simple Green in my ultrasonic cleaner, I dump in greasy sockets/extensions/adapters/wrenches, put the temp on high and let it run. They come out great!
0:20.. that's what I use ..they work great 👍..I always clean my tools before putting them back.... I think people are either lazy or they want people to see how much they use their tools..either way...CLEAN YOUR DAMN TOOLS MAN....😅
LOL at your last part. I don't constantly clean my tools but I never let them look like the ones in the video. I come across so many with the same level of filth. Thanks for watching!
Just a note of caution here. I've had the citrus cleaning cloths remove printing from my auto interior, so be a little careful. Like the window up and down and the cruise control symbols on the wheel.
I have a link in the description if you shop on Amazon. If not, I think hardware stores, automotive stores and maybe places like Walmart will carry them. I guess it depends on where you live. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand abusing expensive tools but not everyone thinks like me. I know they are meant to be used but I like to have some pride in taking care of them. Thanks for watching!
It depends where you buy tools what they cost. If you buy them new then yeah they can be pricey. You're paying for the convenience then. I've literally bought Snap-on ratchet drives for as little as a dollar a piece though. Can't get much cheaper than that.
@@1pcfred In 30 years of hunting flea markets and garage sales I can count on one hand how many Snap-on ratchets I bought for a few dollars. They are few and far between but they do come along here and there. No matter how cheap I get them I still like to take care of them. Thanks for watching!
@@thetoolbandit yeah I only have 4 Snap-on ratchet drives. I have a 1/4", two 3/8ths and one half inch swivel. They don't pop up every day. They are my favorite ratchet drives though. I've only ever bought one tool off a Snap-on truck. Prices are high.
@@1pcfred I don't mind older Snap-on ratchets. I prefer the newer style with the 80 tooth gear, but they are a bit rich for my blood. I find myself using Gearwrench most of the time, very affordable for the quality.
And how do you stop bare steel quickly turning to rust after you cleaned it? Apart from making it oily and messy… there’s got to be a better way than that.
Personally I don't love the smell in my small garage, it does work though. I've heard many people say that it hurts plastic/rubber over time, not sure if that is true. Thanks for watching!

It comes down to “clean your tools after you use them”
@@smithtown6589 also put them away in the proper place so you don't waste time looking for them 😁
@@smithtown6589if I did that they would rust real quick afterwards
It's amazing that how dirty those tools are none of the rubber or plastic handles appear to have any nicks, tears, etc.
I have had great luck with simple green and a yellow microfiber towel over the years cleaning all my tool handles! Wd40 also works in a pinch.
Simple Green is also another good one! I have used both, so far prefer the wipes, but both will work. Thanks for watching!
Also use Simple Green +1
WD-40 can accelerate corrosion though.
Thanks for sharing! I am listing 30 years of tools and these have been awesome! Way more productive and better results than my typical shop towel and spray cleaner method and 1/4 the time!

Try using Pears (glycerine) soap with warm water. Suds it up and leave it for 5 minutes. It works better at removing grease than anything else I've ever tried- and it's cheap.
Thanks for the tip! Thank you for watching!
Also, 409 cleaner works pretty good for the rubber handles but I like the film that WD40 puts on the steel to help prevent rust. Great Video.
I do use WD40 to clean steel all the time. It does seem to protect even though some people say it will cause rust... not in my experience. Thanks again!

I'm not saying they will work on everything but they seem to work great for cleaning up tools handles full of grime. Thanks for watching!
