Shear Maintenance
Shear Maintenance Tips for Longevity
Proper care is crucial for maintaining a high-performing edge on your shears. Neglecting maintenance can lead to premature dulling. Follow these simple guidelines to extend the life of your shears—guaranteed!
- Clean After Each Use
Wipe your shears thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth after each use to remove hair and product buildup. - Weekly Oiling
Apply a few drops of shear or clipper blade oil in the pivot area and around the screw head weekly. Open and close the blades to work the oil in, then wipe away any excess debris. - Proper Tension
Ensure your shears are properly tensioned. Shears that are too loose can dull the edge quickly, as the blades may ride into one another instead of gliding smoothly. - Proper Storage
Store your shears properly to dramatically increase their lifespan. Keep them in the closed position when not in use, and ideally, store them in a case, pouch, or stand to prevent damage. - Cut Hair Only
Stick to cutting hair—avoid using your shears for any other materials to maintain their edge. - Avoid Damaged Shears
Do not use shears that have been dropped and severely nicked. Forcing them shut can cause further damage, resulting in more metal being removed during sharpening and decreasing their lifespan.
By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure your shears stay sharp and effective for years to come!
