Note: if you don’t want to replace the springs yourself, you are more than welcome to return the tools to us and we will do it for you. Our turn around time is two to three business days.

The easiest way to clean the grips is to use a pre-moistened wipe (Clorox® or any generic store brand).

How do I keep the cutting and pliers blades clean and rust-free?

A light oil like WD-40® works well. Put a small amount of it on a soft cloth and wipe the cutter/pliers blades as well as the rivet area and other exposed metal surfaces.  This process also acts as a rust preventative. Here’s a video demonstrating the process by @csldesigns on Instagram:
